My Students

My students are often from impoverished home. More than 98% of my students receive government assistance. Some students come to school unclean and self conscious. I have provided students with everything from antiperspirants to gold dial and body spray. I simply want them to inhale pleasant fragrances.

My Project

My goal is to continue to provide students a clean and an amazing smelling area. My class has always been the classroom that smells good and the class that relaxes students, so they can have a mindset that’s conducive to learning. Aromatherapy has proven to soothe the mind and stimulate the thought process. When students approach my classroom door, I want them to have a “WHOOSAH” experience. This will make students excited to be in my space and I will be excited to teach them. We can experience this ambiance together.
