Your contribution allows us to stock our Care Closet so that students can access these items easily and discreetly throughout the school year, helping to promote dignity, wellness, and a sense of belonging.\r\n\r\nYour support goes far beyond providing supplies- it helps reduce stigma, strengthens our school culture, and empowers students to care for one another.

Students use these wipes for personal care and toileting, and for quick clean-ups after play-doh or craft time. We're able to have a stash of wipes in our class bathroom and in the nurse office and the classroom next door.
