Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
How to care for personal health and hygiene is one of the more important life skills that students need to learn both in-home and at school.
Sometimes, these skills are not as sharply honed as they could be by the time students arrive at high school.
In ninth grade especially, students must juggle their learning with proper social hygiene, especially in neighborhoods like ours where the basic needs of students often go unmet at home each day. The necessary hygienic products are sometimes missing for our young scholars.
Health and hygiene products like toothpaste or deodorant sticks are often overlooked basic needs that contribute to overall student success.
How would you feel if one day you forgot to wear or couldn't afford deodorant and your classmates noticed your especially pungent teenage odor that day? How would you feel if you were in a rush to go to school and forgot to brush your teeth, only to meet your crush the minute you came through the door? Would you be focused on learning or anxious about the social nightmare you just had to experience? Help me alleviate this burden for my students this year by supporting these health and hygiene basic needs.
More than half of students from low‑income households
