My Project

Hello! I am asking for your help to supply my classroom with health & wellness items for students. I teach in a low-income school and most of the population is on free and reduced lunch. I want to help students stay healthy and comfortable this year by keeping certain items in my classroom.

Healthy students are more likely to come to school, be engaged, and gain confidence.

If students are at home, or constantly going to the nurse for bandaids and cough drops they are disrupting their learning and the learning of their peers.

I am asking for things like bandaids, cough drops, and Kleenex so that kids can stay in good health. I am also asking for menstrual/hygiene products that can be readily available for students. I am also asking for things like sanitizer, disinfecting wipes, and a small air purifier to keep the classroom free of germs and allergens.

Grades 6-8
