My Students

Our school is a Title I School, located in a small, rural county. Our classrooms are filled with a diverse makeup of students that include English Language Learners, students with disabilities, and gifted students. Our students are very eager to learn, and they come to school excited for a new day. Most of our students come from low-income households, where there are limited budgets for school materials and supplies; however, their families are very supportive and very involved our school community!

My Project

The items I am requesting will help keep our students healthy and prevent germs from spreading to others. We are at the beginning of cold and flu season. This is the time of year when students are often absent from school due to winter illnesses. It is important for our students to be present at school each and every day so they can get the most out of the educational opportunities provided to them. When they are absent, they miss critical instruction. Some students fall behind, and it is difficult for them to catch up.will help keep our students healthy and prevent germs from spreading to others.

By supporting this project, you will help decrease their chances of getting sick from the classroom environment.

The disinfectant wipes will help eliminate germs on classroom furniture. The dusters will help get rid of dust on furniture that can cause difficulty breathing. The electronics cleaning supplies will help keep computers and tablets free of dust and germs.
