My Project

We want to give our students an opportunity to spread kindness in our community! This project will allow our students to create hygiene bags for members of our community.

We want to show our students that we are members of a great community, and we should always support those in need.

The holiday season is fast approaching, and we would like to create hygiene bags for some of our less fortunate community members. These bags will include items such as Degree and Secret deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, and Hanes socks. We are also including notebooks with inspirational messages on them to increase the positivity and kindness of our mission.

Once the students pack our holiday hygiene bags, we will partner with one of our local homeless shelters or community service boards to drop the materials off. We hope to be able to create and donate at least 50 bags!

My students and I are so grateful to have an opportunity to spread kindness in our community!
