I have between 50 and 60 middle school students in my classroom throughout the day. They are truly fantastic humans—hardworking, kind, and eager to learn and grow. About 75% of the families qualify for free or reduced lunch. Many struggle outside of school to get not only the materials they need to be successful academically, but also basic self-care items that are so important for feeling confident and comfortable in middle school.
By creating a self-care station in my classroom, I can remove one of the hurdles many of my students face when it comes to being successful at school.
This station would be a centralized, discreet spot with items like toothbrushes and toothpaste, lotion, Vaseline, deodorant, hair ties, band-aids, glasses cleaner, menstrual supplies, and more.
It’s not just about the supplies—it’s about creating a safety net. A way to make students feel safe, welcomed, and cared for, every single day.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
