My Students
My elementary school is in central Florida. My students are five and six year old children that are beginning their formal education. They are enthusiastic to be at school and embrace very new task and skill that is introduced to them. They like to sing, play in centers, and learn all about reading and math.
We are a Title I school.
We have about 93 percent of our students that receive free or reduced-rate lunches. Most come from homes with single parents, a grandparent, or other family members are raising them. The saddest situations are where the students are in a homeless situation.
My Project
Our students, younger and older, have accidents every once in awhile. Not only is this embarrassing, it can be uncomfortable and cause children to be teased by their peers.
Our school nurse is always looking for donations of underwear and socks for our students.
She is able to find shorts and t-shirts but would like to provide new undies and socks for the child to put on when they need to change their clothes from an unexpected accident. It is difficult to get our parents to send in a change of clothes for their child. Some of our parents are on a fixed income and cannot provide extra clothing to be kept at school.
When a child needs to change their clothes, they can quickly change in the nurse's station helps keep the child from missing valuable class time. This is what is best for the child and their self-esteem.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
