My Project

Working in an elementary school there are many days when our students have accidents because they are so engaged in learning that they forget to listen to their bodies. This doesn't always happen to the little ones but also the older kids. Their are also days that kids slip and fall when its has rained or snowed and their clothes become wet. Who wants to wear wet or dirty clothes all day long? No one! Many students come to my office to get changed and I don't have the pants for them to change into.

This gives the kids clean dry clothes to wear home and not feel embarrassed about either their accident or getting wet from the weather, or even spilling food on them selves.

We all like to feel like the rest of the students and having clean dry clothes help to ensure that they don't stand out from others! Please help my kids not feel embarassed.
