Keeping a Clean and Germ-Free Classroom

Help me give my students tissues, hand soap and disinfecting wipes to keep germs away!

Ms. Maalaea Martin Luther King Elementary School

Portland, OR Grades PreK-2

My Project

My first graders are inquisitive, creative and eager to learn. They enjoy hands-on projects and materials. They especially love to share and work collaboratively.

My students need hygiene products to help keep our classroom clean and to stop the spread of germs on our shared surfaces and materials.

That is why I am requesting tissues for sneezes and runny noses, disinfecting wipes to clean high-use areas, materials, and doorknob, as well as hand soap for our classroom sink, and hand sanitizer to keep hands clean. Lastly, we need paper towels and a broom and dustpan for snack time spills.

Thank you for helping keep our classroom clean.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
