My Project

In our classroom, learning and health go hand in hand. When students feel clean, safe, and supported, they are more likely to focus, participate, and thrive academically. This project is designed to promote healthy habits and overall well-being through access to hygiene essentials and calming tools that support both physical and emotional health.

This project will provide students with the tools they need to feel better physically and mentally—improving their focus, attendance, and overall classroom engagement.

Many of my students come to school without consistent access to basic hygiene supplies. To support them, I am requesting hygiene kits that include items like toothbrushes, toothpaste, soap, deodorant, and hand sanitizer. These kits will not only help students feel more confident and comfortable but will also teach them the importance of regular self-care.

In addition, I am requesting an essential oil diffuser and a selection of calming oils (such as lavender and peppermint) to create a peaceful, focused classroom environment. This helps students manage stress, improve concentration, and start the day with a sense of calm and positivity.

By supporting this project, you’ll be helping my students build lifelong healthy habits, improve their emotional regulation, and create a learning space that is clean, calm, and caring. With your help, we can empower every student to show up ready to learn—and feel good doing it.
