My Project

Maintaining personal hygiene is not just a matter of personal preference, but a crucial aspect of public health. This is especially true in schools, where students spend a significant portion of their day. A hygiene closet in schools can play a pivotal role in promoting cleanliness and health among students.

The School District has established a food/hygiene closet for our student body and I'd like to help contribute to the supply.

Why Should Schools Have a Hygiene Closet?

1. Promoting Personal Hygiene: A hygiene closet stocked with essential items such as soap, toothpaste, deodorant, and sanitary pads can encourage students to maintain personal hygiene. It can serve as a constant reminder of the importance of cleanliness and provide the necessary resources for students who may not have access to them at home.

2. Uplifting Students: Some students know that coming by food is a struggle for their families, but would rather not ask for help for fear of being signed out. A community closet is perfect for any individual to swing by, grab what they need, and continue on with their day without having to ask for assistance.

3. Fostering Dignity and Inclusivity: For students who cannot afford hygiene products, a hygiene closet can be a lifeline. It can help these students maintain their dignity and feel included, which can have a positive impact on their self-esteem and academic performance.

4. Educating Students: A hygiene closet can also serve as a practical tool for teaching students about the importance of hygiene. Teachers can use it as a real-life example to reinforce lessons on cleanliness, health, and well-being.
