My Project

I teach kindergarten in a Title I school, where keeping our classroom clean and safe is so important for my students’ health and learning. Supplies like wipes, hand sanitizer, and tissues are used daily, and your donations make a world of difference in helping us maintain a squeaky-clean, welcoming space. I am truly grateful for your support—it allows me to focus on teaching while giving my students the clean, safe environment they deserve. Having a clean kindergarten classroom is essential for creating a healthy, safe, and welcoming learning environment for young children. At this age, students are still learning proper hygiene habits, and a clean classroom helps reduce the spread of germs, keeping both children and teachers healthy and ready to learn. Supplies such as disinfectant wipes, hand sanitizer, paper towels, tissues, and cleaning sprays are used daily to maintain this level of cleanliness.

Working in a Title I school, these supplies are often limited, and donations make a tremendous difference for both students and teachers.

Every contribution directly supports the classroom’s well-being, allowing me to focus on teaching rather than worrying about running out of necessary items. These contributions are deeply appreciated, as they ensure that children can learn in a clean, organized, and safe environment—something every child deserves.
