Make a Difference in Someone's Life With Everyday Necessities
Help me give my students an inclusive environment where all students feel supported and empowered to participate in class, by supplying them with those daily necessities to survive the school day. Hygiene toiletries and basic school supplies.
Help me create an inclusive environment where all students feel supported and empowered to participate in class, by supplying them with those daily necessities to survive the school day. Hygiene toiletries and basic school supplies. Some students don’t attend school because they can’t afford deodorant and other hygiene items, or they are unable to wash their clothes. They may forget their backpacks due to their living situation and forget their pencils and notebooks. Most of the time it is us as teachers who often buy these supplies. This directly impacts their learning experience, as feeling good about themselves and feeling prepared plays a vital role in academic success and overall development.
My goal for this project extends beyond merely providing hygiene products and class supplies.
I aim to create an inclusive environment where students feel supported and empowered to participate in school without hesitation. Currently, in my classroom, I have Bath and Body Works lotion and body spray, tissues, face lotion candy, deodorant, and hair ties. Kids are always coming in, refreshing themselves up, and making sure they are looking and feeling good. They grab a pencil or a notebook, (maybe some candy), because they forgot their book bag. Despite facing economic hardships, they approach each day with enthusiasm and a willingness to learn. Due to socio-economics, no fault of their own, they still persevere. They deserve every opportunity to excel, unimpeded by obstacles beyond their control. Please help me afford to continue to offer them this little luxury.
