My Project

This project will help my students from getting sick and having a better hygiene than they already do. The hand santizier will be utilized all the time with both individual bottles given to those students who are very sick, as well as large bottles for the classroom. The individual tissues will be given to kids were are in constant need of blowing their nose because of being sick and the deodorant will be utilized for both girls and boys who don't have access to such a necessity at home.

These products of hand sanitizers, tissues and deodorant will help students have not only good hygiene, but keep them from getting each other sick and miss out on being in school.
