I cannot tell you how much of a difference it makes after my students come back from gym class and recess. I can even tell that a lot of them are much more willing to really run around as much as they want to because they don't have to be self-conscious of their smell!\r\n\r\nThanks to you, we now have enough deodorants for every student to have their own if they need one to take with them and extras too that they can access in my room anytime they need.\r\n\r\nAlso, we are so thankful for the Gatorade water bottles. Having these \"cool\" athletic water bottles has been a game-changer for my students- especially those whose families do not have the money to buy them their own water bottle that they can bring to and from school. The kids love bringing their water bottles down to gym and filling them up in the drinking fountain right outside the gym because they say that is the best tasting water! They have also become independent with washing the water bottles at the end of each week and setting them out to dry over the weekend so that they don't get yucky. Thank you so much again!!","fullyFundedDate":1756758553754,"projectUrl":"project/gym-class-hygiene-essentials/9662255/","projectTitle":"Gym Class Hygiene Essentials","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.

They love when we get deliveries from generous donors (like you) because they get to take turns being the one who gets to go down to the office to bring the package up.\r\n\r\nThe essential cleaning supplies like the paper towels and soap have been hugely helpful. My kids were happy to help me with decluttering some shelves in order to be able to put our new supplies away and keep them organized and neat! We were even able to give some other middle school teachers a few boxes of tissues which were desperately needed as cold season came upon us. It may sound small but it's been such a luxury for my students to be able to just get a tissue within our classroom when they need one rather than having to go down the hallway to get toilet paper. Likewise, the soap that is more gentle on their hands (and also smells better) as well as actually having paper towels to dry our hands(!!) has encouraged them to wash their hands more frequently and for longer which has been so reassuring for me because I know how many germs spread around schools.\r\n\r\nThe big kahuna of this project was definitely the vacuum. When my \"floor boss\" student who is in charge of cleaning the floors at the end of each day opened up the box he was speechless! He has such an engineer's mind and was so excited to put the vacuum together by himself. I set aside my worry and my instinct to micromanage him, and I let him do it himself and he put it together quicker than I could have myself. \"Floor Boss\" has gone from the least desirable classroom job to the most desirable classroom job. With all of the lay-offs of custodians this year, it has made such a huge difference for my students to have the supplies to independently keep our floors clean. I can't thank you enough!!","fullyFundedDate":1757768447313,"projectUrl":"project/clean-classroom-to-fight-germs/9650533/","projectTitle":"Clean Classroom to Fight Germs!","teacherDisplayName":"Mx.
