Many students are in need of basic essentials most of us take for granted.
Items such as deodorant, toothpaste, toothbrushes, feminine hygiene products, soap, hairspray, and lotion are not always available in their homes.
These items will help my teenage students living in poverty stay clean and fresh.
Many of my students don't have basic personal supplies, such as deodorant, at home.
If money is tight, deodorant is something they may have to go without.
As my students navigate the world with their changing bodies due to puberty, it is important to teach them how to care for themselves in a socially-acceptable manner. Given the fact many cannot afford these self-care items, it is my hope we can provide items for them. Quite often, teachers will donate items for the kids, but that gets quite expensive.
