Help me give my students something so simple and essential as ... tissues! We can't keep up!

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We have so many students who need so many tissues for allergies, asthma, colds, etc. and we can't keep up. We get one box a month, if that. I've purchased some and received some, but I can't buy anymore because I also have to use our funds for other items. We are having our holiday party soon, and our budget is tight. It would really help if we had an endless supply or even just a small supply of Kleenex for our students. We are completely out, and students have to run to the bathroom to get hard hand towels or toilet paper and this takes away from instruction and learning. Please help with supplying a variety of tissue for our classroom!
