Personal Care Items for Care Closet

Help me give my students personal care items to fulfill needs that are often not met at home. These issues often affect their body image.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Engman's classroom raised $998

My Students

My students from Hawaii are eager learners. They are creative, thoughtful, caring, and passionate about learning. They love to find solutions to problems and focus on hands-on activities. They come to class ready to learn and always have important questions.

Nearly the entire school population receives free or reduced lunch, English language learner and their families do not have the money to purchase supplies due to the ongoing pandemic.

Please help my students achieve their educational goals. They love various learning methods, whether by computer, group work, or small discussions. Their ongoing curiosity is an inspiration to me every day!

My Project

My students can care for themselves; however, there are times when they need help getting the personal care items to do so. When the children do not have access to personal care items, it affects their self-esteem. As many educators can attest, students' basic needs must be met before remembering, understanding, or applying what they are learning. With the deodorant, chap-ice, pads, and other self-care items, students can focus on their education and not their level of cleanliness. My goal is to create a place where students can access shampoo/conditioner, body wash, lotion, Chapstick, feminine products, and toothbrushes/toothpaste.
