Growing Up

Help me give my students some often requested hygiene items as our students encounter changes in their bodies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Minezaki's classroom raised $308

My Project

We have surprisingly recently seen many girls come to school not prepared for changes in their body as they enter puberty. We would like to help them with what they need as they experience life changes.

Special undergarments and treated pads to treat acne to give them a feeling of security in a time when the changes in their bodies make big changes in their self-esteem as well as notebooks to express their feelings.

Also, food always brings people together. We are hoping for some griddles to give them a chance to cook as they build connections and friendships.
