It's Fly to be Dry

Help me give my students the comfort of dry pants when needed. These will be needed and used by many

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Nurse Kerri's classroom raised $521

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students have a need for dry pants. Spills and soiled clothing are a daily occurrence

Clean and dry pants are in large demand at my school.

These would benefit many We are a low income based school My students thrive on learning and want to be in class. Multiple times a day I am looking for dry pants for a student with a need

Having to call or find a parent at work to bring a change of clothes, is not always ideal. Many have to wait in wet pants for the change of clothes to get here. Having a dry pair on hand would get my students back to class and learning.

My Project

With these clean dry pants on hand I will not have another student sitting in wet pants waiting to return to class My students are eager to be here each day. There are many reasons for wet or soiled pants during the day. Having to sit and wait for a change is not beneficial to the student or teacher.

With pants here I can give them to the student to change and get back to class quickly Sweat pants are the easiest to have in stock and can fit many students.

My student deserve the best care I can give. Having a supply of what they need is expected of me
