Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

Middle schoolers—including those assigned female at birth as they begin menstruating—need unhindered access to hygiene products for several vital reasons.

The first reason is for the student's health and physical well-being.

These products, like hand sanitizer, deodorant, and menstrual pads, can prevent infections and embarrassing situations for the students. Proper menstrual care helps avoid urinary tract infections, and odor- and rash-related issues.

A second reason is to reduce illness and the spread of germs. Basic hygiene supplies like soap, hand sanitizer, and deodorant help stop diseases and support overall student health.

My students face many challenges both at home and in the classroom. These supplies would go a long way in

preserving dignity, confidence, and mental health. Feeling clean and prepared helps students participate confidently. A lack of supplies can lead to shame, stigma, and social withdrawal.
