My Project

Students will be able to focus in classroom without worries that they are not clean. This will also prevent the stigma of being made fun. My goal is to start with 100 hygiene bags that can be distributed to students and their families without judgement or questions. The students in my school district have various trials and tribulations, a very diverse group that still strive to go to school and try to advance in life. No student should have to go to school without their basic hygiene needs being met.
