Keeping Us Healthy and Safe

Help me give my students a safe working and learning environment with Kleenex, Wipes and Fun Face Masks.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gauci's classroom raised $327

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

My first priority this year is the health and safety of my students.

Kleenex, cleaner spray, wipes and masks are the easiest tools that we can use to protect each other.

With cleaning spray, I can clean a large surface area with one quick spray and wipe with cloth towels. With the wipes, my students can clean their tables and supplies easily and not have to wait for me. Kleenex will keep our noses clean and dry. And the kid-sized face masks with fun dinosaurs will encourage kids to cover up to keep safe, whether it is because of Covid-19 or the flu virus. These tools will help me to set up a safe, healthy and productive classroom environment.

Thank you for considering my class for your donation and for helping us to have a safe school year.
