It's so wonderful to have a consistent supply of these items so students can be comfortable while they are at school and in a position to focus on learning instead of needing to find a tissue.\r\n\r\nI really appreciate your contribution to my classroom. I know essentials like tissues and clorox wipes may not seem as exciting as other projects on donorschoose, but they are essentials for a reason and truly help my classroom function better.

They have tried all the options, decided which ones are best (the purple triangles), and often split up the sets to share with their friends during class time.
