My Project

I am a nurse in an alternative school. I have K-12 students. My students are constantly maturing and needing the basics. Learning can be a struggle especially if students are not feeling fresh and clean. Improving personal hygiene can improve a student self esteem and confidence. A little bit of encouragement and assistance such as the hygiene supplies can create a more confident student. A confident student is more likely to improve themselves both socially and academically. It is those little changes and improvements that we make in ourselves that make a big difference.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
