Life Skills Classroom

Help me give my students the supplies they need to succeed in a Life Skills Classroom!

Ms. Kirby C.C.A. Baldi Middle School
Philadelphia, PA Grades 6-8

My Project

Our classroom is currently working hard on mastering essential daily living skills that foster independence and self-esteem. To help our students practice consistent personal hygiene habits, we are seeking donations of deodorant, toothbrushes, toothpaste, and other basic toiletries. We also need printer ink, glue, headphones, wipes, and a speaker. These everyday items serve as vital "tools of the trade" in our lessons, allowing students to gain hands-on experience in caring for themselves. Your generosity directly supports our mission to empower these amazing learners with the practical skills they need to thrive both in and out of the classroom. Every donation, no matter how small, makes a meaningful difference in a student's day!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
