As the school adjustment counselor, students often approach me in need of personal hygiene products, clothing, and food, and am seldom able to provide them with all the items they need. Many students often report going without meals, brushing their teeth, routinely bathing or washing their hair, and/or wearing clean socks, as it is their only option. This project would allow me to alleviate some of these necessities that most of us take for granted. Hats, gloves, and wool socks would provide students with the warmth in the upcoming winter months during their commutes to and from school. The food items throughout - cereal, oatmeal, Pop-Tarts, etc.- will be available for the many students that come to school without the opportunity to eat breakfast or otherwise. The various other items, including toothbrushes, toothpaste, shampoo, soap, etc. are for students to attend to their personal hygiene and health. 鈥...Before students can excel at their full potential, we must ensure their basic needs are met,鈥 Tony Kline, Ph.D. By funding this project, I would be able to help so many of my students with the necessities they need to enter the classroom feeling ready to learn.
