Please Help Provide Clean Clothes for our Young Scholars!

Help me give my students, who do not have access to a washing machine, access to an on-site washing machine within the school building to wash uniforms for our sports teams.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

Thank you for considering our proposal for acquiring a Washing Machine.

This washing machine will alleviate the financial burden on families who may not have access to laundry facilities at home, promoting a sense of community support.

Additionally, clean clothes can boost students' confidence and self-esteem, helping them feel more comfortable and focused in the classroom. Students are more likely to attend school regularly when they have clean clothes to wear, reducing absenteeism and improving academic performance.

Also, having access to a washing machine at school ensures that students can regularly wash their clothes, promoting better personal hygiene and reducing the risk of health issues.

Finally, this washing machine can be used to clean team sports uniforms, ensuring that all students can participate in sports activities without the worry of dirty or unwashed clothing.

Again, thank you for your consideration!
