Middle School Students Desperately Need Hygiene Supplies

Help me give my students basic hygiene necessities, so they can feel confident, fresh, and clean.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Gottshall's classroom raised $1,526

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

This project is so important to help my Middle School students feel fresh, clean, and, confident throughout the school day. Each student will receive a bag of supplies (deodorant, lotion, toothbrush, toothpaste, and dental floss) in a bag that they can carry in their book bags.

Learning can be a struggle especially if students are not feeling fresh and clean.

Improving personal hygiene can improve a student's self-esteem and confidence. A confident student is more likely to improve themselves both socially and academically. It is those little changes and improvements that we make in ourselves that make a big difference.
