My Project

Please help me supply basic hygiene products my students may need!

Hygiene is a necessity!

In this project, I have included items to help me put togeher a, "What you need" cart. In this cart I will include things like toothbrushes and toothpaste that students may take if they need it. Students may take these items home to use.

I want students to know that we care about them not just academically but also care about their health! All items in the project will help me accomplish this goal for my classroom!
