Germs Germs Stay Away!

Help me give my students Lysol/wipes, Clorox wipes, hand soap, puffs tissue and masks to help keep the germs away.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Townsend's classroom raised $335

My Project

No one likes to get sick. The main thing that keeps students out of school is illness. I want to stock up on Clorox/Lysol Wipes, Microban Spray, Puffs tissue, and hand soap to help keep my classroom clean and as close to germ-free as possible. When one student gets sick in class it spreads like wildfire, not only to the students but also to me as a teacher. A clean, healthy classroom will help to reduce sickness and help to reduce absences throughout the year.

This project will help students develop a shared responsibility for our classroom and build healthy habits.

Masks will be given to students that are coughing

It is important to stay healthy and with these materials, I can help prevent my students from getting sick and missing valuable learning time. Please help my students and me stay healthy by stocking my classroom with these much-needed supplies.
