My Project

My project is to keep students healthy and healthy in my classroom. We go through lots of cleaning supplies and many boxes of tissues each year. Rarely do we ever get a donation of any supplies, let alone tissues or wipes. I am requesting for my students several basic supplies we go through that many over look when teachers run their classrooms.

We had COVID, the flu, and pneumonia go through our school this year and nearly every student and staff member caught it.

Providing items like tissues and disinfecting wipes will help students and staff stay in the building instead of missing out and losing education time
