My Project

I teach in an urban school that does not receive adequate health or physical education funding. Most of my students have challenging lives at home and may have experienced trauma, homelessness, and/or foster care. They are kids who come to school to experience a loving and safe environment where they feel valued and important. My students have a right to experience a quality educational experience and to have their basic needs met regardless of their socio-economic status.

These personal hygiene products will dramatically improve our students' self-esteem, thereby improving their academic performance.

When the worry of meeting basic needs has been removed, the students can then focus on the learning that takes place in the classroom.

Grades 6-8
