Health and Comfort Items for All Students!

Help me give my students access to comfort and health items such as tea, menstrual products, and band-aids

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Rachel Thomas's classroom raised $1,020

My Project

Being a high schooler is hard. We all know the challenges that being a teen entails - from getting a surprise period, to realizing you're a little smelly, to just having a stressful day. Through this Donor's Choose I am hoping to make thier days just a little more comfortable by providing easy access to tea, menstrual products, and deoderant wipes just to name a few.

Being able to make a cup of tea or grabbing a cough drop can go such a long way in making a student's day go just a little bit smoother.

By funding this project, you are bringing comfort, joy and discreet access to basic health supplies. Just a little something to make high school a little more comfy!
