My Project

For this project, we requesting Kleenex tissues. These will help keep us safe from germs. We use Kleenex all the time especially when our students have runny noses. These materials will help keep our students safe and clean environment. Our district has stopped supplying these and with the cold and flu season around the corner having these is a need.

We are keeping ourselves healthy and clean.

These materials will help with some germs as much as it can. We are committed to ensuring our classroom has a clean and sanitary environment. A healthy learning space is essential for students' well-being and academic success. We know the gerns, colds, and cases of flu are bound to happen but we can to try and minimize the spreading of germs as much as we can and these supplies will help us dearly.

Thank you for your support!
