Help me give my students water bottles, chap stick, gloves, deodorant, and other essentials!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lahti's classroom raised $494

My Project

As a school interventionist, I have the privilege of working with all students throughout the school. Since I see students in primary grades as well as in middle school grades, I know what it takes to provide this vast range of students with essentials.

I am asking for deodorant, chap stick, gloves, water bottles, hand lotion, and body wipes to ensure that all students of all ages are prepared for school.

Students need deodorant and body wipes to freshen up after PE or Fitness, while all students should have access to a water bottle or water throughout the day.

Thank you in advance for all of your support!
