My Project

When you think about students who have a strong desire to be the best, think about my students. School-aged children are constantly growing and changing, both mentally and physically. It is important to understand developmental milestones to address the changing needs of my students.

My students struggle with poverty, homelessness, transportation, and language barriers but in spite of all of this, they show up to school.

Healthy kids also move a lot, but movement can make keeping good hygiene more challenging. Good hygiene can help a student focus on completing their school work. Poor hygiene may affect a child’s physical and mental health. A student may get sick more often causing them to miss school and fall behind in class. If a student has poor hygiene, he/she can become self-conscious or may be bullied.

Our school administrators and teachers work very hard to try to make sure our students receive everything they need. Additionally, having items like deodorant available for them as a safety net will really improve their confidence at school and meet their basic needs.
