My Project

Students learn better in a clean and healthy environment. Please help me with cleaning supplies and facial tissue for my middle school students.

Kleenex are always on high demand and short supply in classrooms!

Allergy season always seems to be upon us. Back in the day kids would bring their homeroom teacher a box of tissue early in the school year. Those days appear to unfortunately be gone. I end up picking up a box or two every single time I am out and about. It would be nice to have a ready supply.

A mop for everyday clean ups is something I always like to have around as well as a broom and dust pan. I know our custodians are over worked. I discovered years ago that I had a handful of middle schools who had never swept a floor before! Life skills are a must.
