Tweens So Fresh & So Clean

Help me give my students personal hygiene products to start the new school year fresh and clean.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wimberly's classroom raised $997

This project is fully funded

My Project

Let's start the new school year with fresh and clean teens. Hygiene is a challenge for kids at any age, especially in middle school. While poor personal hygiene can affect a teen's overall health, the social consequences can hurt even more. I want to give all my students a fresh start with personal hygiene kits for them to take home. I want to give my students a nice care package with washcloths, towels, soap, deodorant, toothbrushes, and body wash. Having these items on hand at home will promote positive self-care and hygiene inside and outside of the classroom.

TWEENS SO FRESH AND CLEAN WITH GOOD HYGIENE
