My Project

Our school serves grades from kindergarten to 8th grade. As students transition into puberty we are teaching them the importance of good hygiene habits. As we educate students, it becomes apparent that not all student have access to basic personal care items and have to go without. The materials requested will provide these items to students in need. This will help them to establish good hygiene habits and improve their confidence.

Deodorant, soap, and a toothbrush can be very important to students as they navigate puberty and their changing bodies.
