Keeping Our Classroom Safe With A Touchless Hand Sanitizing Station
Help me give my students a wall-mounted, hand sanitizing station to protect them from germs and viruses.
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gauci's classroom raised $549

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Project
Every time we enter the classroom, I give a squirt of hand sanitizer to each set of hands as the kids walk into the room; that's 24 squirts to 24 students, each time we come and go. In the morning, recess, specialist classes, lunch, afternoon recess, and MakerSpace/assemblies are all the times we leave and enter our classroom on a daily basis. That is a minimum of 150 squirts of hand sanitizer every day to keep us safe. The bottles don't last very long, and the gel is sticky. I want to keep my students as safe as possible.
Having a wall mounted hand sanitizing station will keep my kids and our classroom clean and safer from the germs and viruses that can grow easily in a classroom environment.
In our classroom, we do a lot of projects and work together in groups sharing materials. This can spread germs.
This hand sanitizing station will keep my students healthier and safer in our classroom on a daily basis, providing a touchless service of hand sanitizer available to them at any time.
This automated sanitizer will clean our hands and also provide my students with soft hands without the sticky feeling or gel goop because this sanitizer is also a moisturizer. It has "an award winning hydrating formula that helps to moisturize hands". We are tired of sticky, goopy gel that dries out our hands.
Each cartridge has over 2000 squirts, and I don't have to stand at the door waiting for every child to enter the room. They can do it themselves!
Thank you for considering my class for your donation. The coronavirus is still very present in our community and we appreciate your help keeping us safe and healthy so that we can come to school and learn.
