Help me give my students support to feel clean, comfortable and well fed in school with cereal bars, hygiene products, and a calm and soothing atmosphere with a diffuser and essential oils.

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
Being well-fed and maintaining good hygiene are foundational for a student’s physical and mental well-being, directly impacting their academic performance. Adequate nutrition fuels the brain, improving memory, focus, and problem-solving abilities. A well-nourished student is less likely to get sick, ensuring regular attendance and consistent learning. That is why I am requesting some cereal bars to have in the classroom for students who may come to school feeling hungry.
By creating an environment where students feel physically, emotionally, and socially comfortable, I can foster optimal learning conditions and support students in reaching their full potential.
A diffuser with essential oils can benefit students by enhancing physical, mental, and emotional well-being. The soothing ambiance created by the aroma of essential oils and the sound of a diffuser’s gentle mist can contribute to a peaceful and calming environment, which reduces stress and anxiety and helps with mental clarity and focus.
Good hygiene significantly contributes to a student's performance in the classroom by promoting physical health, emotional well-being, and social comfort. Good hygiene prevents the spread of infections like colds and flu minimizing interruptions to learning. I am requesting to have mouthwash, antiperspirant, and hand sanitizer to have when students need it. By addressing these basic needs, students are better equipped to thrive academically and socially, laying the groundwork for long-term success. Fostering good hygiene can help students maintain their health, focus, and social confidence, all of which are critical to academic success!
