My Project

Thank you for your consideration and the time you took to stop by to see how you can help support my middle school scholars with their hygiene needs. My goal is to create a comfortable and safe space with adequate seating and storage for personal care items so we can begin to tackle the big elephant in the room, THEIR HYGIENE!

When students feel clean and comfortable they are more likely to focus on their studies leading to better academic outcomes.

Perfecting the personal care needs of my middle school scholars will help them take pride and ownership in their own hygiene which is crucial for their physical health and self esteem. Please partner with us and help me empower my students to develop good hygiene habits and to become the best versions of themselves.
