Let's Not Share Our Germs

My students need hand sanitizer, soap, Lysol wipes, Kleenex, essential oils, and other supplies to help stay clean and healthy during the school year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Shadbolt's classroom raised $301

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are wonderful, caring individuals. I have several that have challenges in the classroom with behavior and focus, but that doesn't stop them from wanting to learn. Each day my students overcome situations at home that would make most people want to crawl back into bed.

They come to school ready for a new day knowing that they are cared for, loved, and believed in by every adult in the school.

I want to share my love of learning with these children.

My Project

My students are friendly with each other and love touching and sharing. We do a lot of group work and team activities, so students are always in close contact with one another. I love that they are so close, but the germs love it, too.

This project will help keep my students from sharing their germs during the school year, so they can stay healthy and happy without losing any of the social aspect of school.

To fend off the germs, we would like hand sanitizer, hand soap, Kleenex, a roller vacuum, essential oils for our diffuser, spray bottles, and other materials to use during the year. With these cleaning supplies and germ fighters, our classroom can continue to work together without worrying about spreading ick and illness around.
