My Project

A clean classroom is essential for a healthy and productive learning environment. In our school, cleaning supplies are limited, and our students deserve a space that is not only welcoming but also safe from germs and allergens. With your help, we can create a cleaner, healthier environment for our learners to thrive.

Our classroom serves as a second home for many of our students, and keeping it clean is crucial for their health and well being.

With seasonal allergies and year-round allergens, having cleaing supplies ensures we can minimize illness and maximize learning. Currently, we rely on a small supply of basic cleaning items such as paper towels so being able to use and reuse the washcloths helps us maintain a consistently clean and sanitized classroom.

By providing cleaning materials we can reduce the spread of germs, improve air quality, and create a more inviting space for students to learn. A cleaner classroom leads to fewer sick days and more focused minds.
