Keep the Germ Monsters Away!

Help me give my students Kleenex and Clorox wipes to keep the germ monsters away!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Gemza's classroom raised $296

My Project

My students are energetic, hardworking, and eager to learn every day. However, staying healthy in a busy classroom can be a challenge, especially during cold and flu season. That’s why we need Kleenex and Clorox wipes to help keep the "germ monsters" away! Having tissues readily available allows students to focus on learning instead of worrying about sniffles while disinfecting wipes helps us maintain a clean and healthy classroom environment.

This project will make a big difference by reducing the spread of germs, keeping students in school, and ensuring they have a safe space to learn and grow.

My goal is to promote good hygiene and minimize distractions so my students can stay engaged in their education. What makes my students special is their resilience, kindness, and enthusiasm for learning, and I want to do everything I can to keep them happy, healthy, and ready to succeed!
