Mrs. Nurse Jess from Midlothian VA is requesting materials related to food, clothing & hygiene through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Periods Shouldn't Be Embarrassing, PERIOD!

Help me give my students the best options when periods start unexpectedly at school: Replacement leggings and underwear save the day for embarrassing moments, a first period deserves education and a multipack of options, and warm packs help cramping.

My Project

Have you ever had an uh-oh moment when things are going great and then suddenly they aren't? Can you help me make my middle school clinic a warm and worry free zone?

A period shouldn't be the reason someone has the worst day at school, PERIOD!

A fresh pair of leggings and underwear save the day many times and prevent embarrassing moments at school. A first period deserves a little extra love too with a bag of different supplies to see what works best for you and some body positive educational materials. Warm packs are perfect for cramping and tummy upset.

Help me turn a bad day into a better one with much needed supplies! The PTA at my school had generously donated some of these supplies, but I would love to have more to offer. Our state requires us to provide period supplies, so pads and regular tampons aren't a concern for this list. It is all of the little extra things that help make a student's day!
