Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Help me give my students hygiene products to ensure that they are clean and well-groomed to increase their self-esteem and ability to focus on academic tasks!

These personal hygiene items will aid students in learning about self-care, especially when a student might not have access to these items or guidance at home.

Poor hygiene can affect a child's physical and emotional health.

This project would supply my students with period products, deodorant, tissues, hair ties, lotion, and more. These products are often requested in the classroom and support their basic needs.
