Starting the Year Fresh

Help me give my students a clean classroom environment for the begginning of our school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Michalski-Geist's classroom raised $241

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students need tissue, sanitizer, paper towels and other cleaning supplies to make sure that everyone who enters our classroom stays healthy this upcoming school year.

Unfortunately, teachers are responsible for buying Kleenex, Purell, paper towels and Lysol Wipes if we want our classrooms to stay extra clean.

As a teacher and a mother, I want my students to have a school environment that is not only inviting but safe and clean so they can learn.

My students will learn about how to stay healthy throughout the school year and not just during cold and flu season. My students will also learn how to use the requested supplies properly and safely!
