My Project

This Period Project began last school year with my HOSA students (Health Occupations Students of America). This project provides free pads to the females in the school bathrooms.

We collected pads last year from staff, students, and local organizations.

As we continue to support this growing need we need more pads to continue to support this school-wide project. as our stock is running low.

This project is important to my HOSA students as it supports our mission to provide community service for the student body. This is a project we would like to continue for years.
