Help me give my students soap to help keep their hands clean and multicultural crayons so they can truly draw themselves, their friends, and their families the way they truly are.
My school is a Title I school. We have many students in low-income homes. Students have been able to return to full in-person school, the families may not be able to purchase enough sanitizer, soap, tissues, among their traditional supplies, for each of the classrooms that the students visit.
Cleanliness, sanitation, and distancing is the only way the schools are able to stay open this year.
Without these things, the students and staff would have to learn and teach online. As a specialist, I don't receive traditional supplies from families. I rely partly on the school and partly on teachers who are sometimes able to share their supplies with me.
My Project
The Dial Hand Soap will make it much easier for the students who come to my room to wash their hands after an art project, or working on the floor, or if they have just come from outside. Sanitizer is great too, but soap is more helpful with some of the messes we make at school.
My students are English Language Learners.
They always use the peach crayon and call it the "skin color" crayon. The only other crayon they have to represent their skin tone is brown. Which is often not their true skin tone. These crayons will help my students feel like they are truly represented in their pictures they draw of themselves, their families, and their friends.
More than half of students from low‑income households
