Keeping Me Strong

Help me give my students cleaning supplies to minimize germs in the classroom environment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Bowman's classroom raised $619

My Project

A clean classroom is crucial for the well-being and success of our students. Studies indicates that a hygienic learning space reduces the risk of illness, enhances focus, and promotes overall academic performance.

"A clean environment fosters happiness and peace."

Maintaining such an environment in a preschool classroom requires a consistent supply of cleaning materials. I have 24 PreK 4 students, the hand wipes can be used on the playground and on field trips when soap and water is not the most convenient method to clean little hands.

Students eat in their classroom instead of the cafeteria, things spill, and their desks get sticky. Cleaning wipes and paper towels are necessary for our cleaning routine. I will use the supplies in this project to clean off tables after every meal (breakfast, morning snack, lunch, and afternoon snack). Gloves will be used to protect hands from the cleaning solutions.

Thank you for viewing my project.
