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

Not all students have access to some basic hygiene necessities. I am in an underfunded school and the school doesn't have access to some basic materials.

My project is designed so students have access to personal hygiene necessities, essentials, and books when they don't have access to them at home and the school cannot provide the items for them.

This means making sure we have sufficient toilet paper in the bathroom, having adequate paper towels so students can dry their hands, young women have appropriate feminine hygiene products, and kids can have detergent to wash clothes if they are experiencing some sort of hardship at home. No questions asked no explanation needed.

Grades 9-12
