My students need some products to help them combat lice. Multiple medical professionals have recommended Lice Ice and the Robi Comb to take care of chronic lice issues when paired with some solid home education.

My Students
"I wish we had school on Saturdays!"
That's when you know you've had a successful week as a teacher!
Our school is a wonderful low income primary school located in central Illinois. It's home to just over 220 amazing students. Our free and reduced-price lunch population is near 70 percent.
Even with their economical challenges, our students come to school each day eager to learn and ready for more! We teach them never to settle for less than their personal best, and it surely shows!
My Project
Each year, it seems that we encounter students in our school who have major holes in their learning due to a chronic lice problem. Students are sent home to treat the problem and then can return.
Without the proper products like the Lice Ice and the Robi combs which I am requesting, the lice doesn't go away, but some families simply cannot afford to purchase them.
They may use home remedies that don't take care of the problem. This is terribly uncomfortable for the child. They may never really be rid of the lice and may constantly scratch at their heads because of it.
It also becomes an issue of embarrassment for the child. Other students notice when they are sent home or when they ask to see the nurse because of the itching and scratching. We want to help these families take care of this ongoing problem through treatment and home education. Helping them solve this issue will help our students to have good school attendance, thus helping them to learn!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
