My Project

As I observe my students daily, I witness some students in my classes with ill-fitting socks, dry and cracked skin hands, and lips. Providing my students with warm socks, lip balm, and lotions will help to protect them in harsh inclement, and cold weather.

Most students do not have adequate warm socks, hand lotion, and lip balm to brave the cold weather, as many of them walk to and from school.

Students often ask me for lotion, because their hands are dry and cracked. I have seen student wipe their lips with their lotioned hands to moisturize their lips.
