My Project

My students need basic hygiene supplies like deodorants, tooth paste, soap and lotion.

Many of our students suffer financially and may not have access to the basic necessities.

While most of the materials will stay in school, some will be given to the students to be used at home, to help build self esteem and confidence and also the teach the importance of basic hygiene. There are times when parents cannot afford to provide basic supplies this.

These school supplies will provide my students the necessities needed to build confidence in hopes of improving student attendance. The measure of a students imagination and creativity is limitless, but they are bound by the access to resources. These special supplies is what our kids needs in order to feel like things are normal again. Many of their parents can't afford anything right now and the students come to school with nothing.
