Period poverty is a real thing. So many students do not have access to hygiene products. This is an amazing initiative. We have a Care Cart in our room filled with feminine hygiene, deodorant, and dental products. Students shop from the cart when they need things. It’s well loved
This is not a movie or over dramatized. This is reality in education right now and it’s sad. We teachers are fighting the good fight with knowledge, buts it’s not enough for today’s learner! 🥲
