My Project

Many of our students turn to me and other staff members to help them with obtaining basic hygiene necessities. I am wanting to help students who do not have the basic hygiene products to feel as though they can come to an area in our school and take what they need without other students looking or judging. This area would allow students to just come and get the products they need to feel clean and 'normal.' These items are so needed for our kiddos, and I know they would appreciate it so very much.
