My Project

Many of my 5th grade students face challenges outside of school, including limited access to basic hygiene products and regular meals. Some come to class without the essential items they need to feel clean and confident, and others arrive hungry, which makes it hard to focus and learn.

This project provides essential hygiene supplies like deodorant, toothpaste, soap, and feminine products to help my students take care of themselves and feel their best every day.

I’m also including breakfast bars because for some students, breakfast isn’t guaranteed. Having nutritious breakfast bars available helps ensure they start the day with energy and focus.

By addressing both hygiene and hunger, I’m supporting my students’ well-being so they can fully engage in learning and feel cared for in our classroom community.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
