Life Essentials - Personal Health and Hygiene

My students need the basics when it comes to personal health and hygiene including bandages, deodorant, bandages, and hand hand sanitizers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Mahler's classroom raised $397

My Students

Middle school life can be a very awkward period of life. During this time, your body starts to change and things happen to you that you may not know will happen. Your body is producing hormones at a rapid rate and your body shows these changes.

My students thoroughly enjoy their time during physical education class.

However, by the end of the period the room can give off the scent that their was a lot of sweating going on. Some students sweat more than others. I want them to be able to go to the rest of their classes fresh, like they did before they ran around the gymnasium.

My Project

I am looking to build upon past lessons on personal hygiene and the steps you take to make sure your stay clean and healthy. I have gained a notion that if deodorant is readily available, it is not applied regularly. Both male and female students should start building good practices now this way it just becomes second nature as they get older. I am requesting the life essential basics including bandages, deodorant, bandages, and hand hand sanitizers to help motivate my students to practice good hygiene as early as now.

This project will greatly improve my student's lives to minimize the pressures and fear of unpleasant odor being emanated from their person.

My students will be able to understand that their personal health and hygiene is something that can be work on daily through good practices.
