Learning Happens When Needs Are Met

Help me give my students basic essentials such as deodorant for healthy living!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Hess's classroom raised $640

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are eager to learn, but unfortunately not all have access to basic essentials. Many students need items such as deodorant, body wash, toothbrush, toothpaste, and feminine products. My goal is to create a cart with these essential items for students to access when needed.

When basic needs are met, students can focus on learning.

Fifth grade is a year of changes and the beginning of puberty. Body odor can be a challenge, and the provided items can help elevate embarrassment and increase confidence.

My goal is to provide a risk free environment where students can easily access basic essentials to help them focus on academics.
