My Project

The students at our school are very academically focused, earning both high school and college credits simultaneously. In order to help students maintain their focus, they should not have to worry about meeting some of their basic needs.

Hygiene supplies will help our students feel good about themselves by making sure their basic needs are met so they can focus on academics.

The BackPack option will provide peace of mind for school safety.

Students have to arrive at school prior to 7:30am and sometimes they are running late and don't have time to comb or brush their hair. This project will allow us to have items on hand in case they need them once the arrive at school.
