Make a donation Ms. Mizelle can use on her next classroom project.
For this project, bags will be created for student and families that are in need of school supplies as well as personal hygiene items. It is my goal to work along with the school nurses and the guidance counselors in our school district to determine who these students are and help meet their needs as well as empower them to advocate to a trusted adult what their needs are. The project includes provisions for deodorant, toothpaste, wipes, paper, markers, etc.
If students can come to school and feel like they are clean, and will not get called names, I believe they will have a better attitude towards their learning. It is proven that when a child feels good about themselves they are more eager to learn.
