FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Dixon's classroom raised $446
This project is fully funded
Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Creating hygiene kits with essential items for homeless youth in your school is crucial for promoting their health and well-being. Including items like washing detergent, toothpaste, toothbrush, soap, comb, and body wipes can help these students maintain personal hygiene, prevent illnesses, and boost their self-esteem.
Involving students in the creation of these kits for community service is important for several reasons.
Firstly, it educates students about the challenges faced by homeless individuals and fosters empathy and compassion. By actively participating in assembling the hygiene kits, students develop a sense of responsibility and learn the importance of giving back to the community.
Furthermore, involving students in community service projects like this helps instill a sense of social responsibility and civic engagement. It empowers students to make a positive impact in the lives of others and cultivates a culture of kindness and support within the school community. Overall, engaging students in creating hygiene kits for homeless youth not only benefits the recipients but also enriches the students' educational experience by teaching valuable life lessons and nurturing a spirit of altruism and empathy.
More than half of students from low‑income households
