My students need Degree Dry Protection Antiperspirant Deodorant and Degree Men Antiperspirant Deodorant Invisible Solid. Good hygiene is an important part of a teen's health, wellness and self-esteem especially since their bodies are developing and changing throughout their middle school career.

My Students
Unfortunately, it has become extremely difficult to be able to supply the entire sixth grade with materials needed to teach the lessons. Teaching 450 students in one week is challenging when there is so much for them to learn but they are limited to our supplies that can help provide them the education.
My sixth-graders are a diverse group of students who are eager to learn new things about themselves through Health Education.
They are curious, excited, and ready to explore everything there is about the human body and how it works from nutrition to mental health.
My Project
Teens bodies are developing and changing throughout their middle school careers. They are beginning to learn what these changes are about and what they need to do during these changes. For starters, they are noticing that they are starting to be a little more stinky than usual, and are unaware on how to prevent the smell. Along with teaching the students on the importance of showering every day, I will also be teaching them on how to use certain hygiene products such as deodorant. Many students are also unable to afford such products, so I am hoping to provide these less fortunate students with some sample size deodorants.
More than half of students from low‑income households
