Top 5 PPE Picks for Students and Classrooms

With the Delta Covid variant circulating throughout the U.S. and schools preparing for the return of students, the need for PPE for students is still strong. With teachers busy getting classrooms ready and lesson plans set, it’s the perfect time to organize a much needed (and much welcomed) donation to your local schools in need.

While school supplies like notebooks, folders, and backpacks are always welcomed, this year consider donating PPE that will be required in schools across the country. Many teachers end up supplying their own classrooms with these items as school budgets continue to be tightened. DollarDays has all the essentials to keep students, teachers, and staff safe all year long. Here are our top five PPE picks for students and classrooms.

1. Fabric Fashion Masks

Kids might be somewhat reluctant to put masks on all day after a summer break. But these fabric masks are so cute and fashionable, they’ll love showing them off to their friends. The animal designs and colors will appeal to all kids and make mask wearing a breeze. These spandex and polyester masks are comfortable and will help keep germs at bay.

2. Hand Sanitizer with Silicone Holder

These personal-sized hand sanitizers come in a variety of designs from pineapples to adorable animals. They are perfect for little ones who may tend to misplace things. They easily attach to backpacks or lunch bags so you know your student will never be without a means to clean hands from germs. Because they’re available in bulk, you be able to keep all the kiddos in the classroom germ-free all year long.

3. Hand Sanitizer Wipes

These hand sanitizer packs are from one of our favorite brands, Yoobi. Not only does Yoobi make quality, trendy products kids love, they also are committed to doing good. For every Yoobi item you purchase, a Yoobi item will be donated to a child in need in the U.S. With 24 hand sanitizer sachets per pack, you can easily supply an entire classroom. At wholesale prices, you can supply an entire school with this PPE essential.

4. Decorated Disposable Mask

Disposable masks have a reputation for being boring or generic. Not these! Kids will definitely forget their cloth masks on occasion or will need a replacement. Having these decorated disposable masks on hand will ensure that all kids are safe and ready to learn. They’ll love choosing from the six fun designs. Because they’re sized for kids, they’ll stay in place so teachers can focus on their lessons.

5. Kids Face Shield

Of course, not all kids love wearing masks. These face shields are the perfect alternative. They are also great for any immuno-compromised student needing extra protection.

Along with a face mask, a face shield will provide an additional barrier against airborne germs. They fit snuggly at the forehead while keeping noses and mouths protected. The happy animal designs and bright colors will make them fun to wear.

We love providing schools with everything they’ll need to make sure each child receives the best education possible. By offering wholesale items at unbeatable prices, we are committed to being a positive force in your community. With your help, we can make this year a success by arming students and teachers with these essential PPE products.

Disaster Preparedness In the Age of COVID-19

Even before COVID-19, this time of year was concerning for many due to the number of natural disasters that happen around this time. Whether it be hurricane season in the gulf or wild fires in the west, preparing and recovering from disasters requires help in many forms. Earlier this month the east coast was hit by Hurricane Isaias and California started experiencing wild fires again. It became a brutal reminder that you can’t approach disasters the same way we did before the Coronavirus.

To be able to help people recover from these catastrophic events requires an extra level of preparedness and hygiene. While we have always been here to provide Disaster Recovery products, we now can also provide an entire line of Personal Protective Equipment.

Unfortunately, many hoped that Covid-19 would be a short lived pandemic. But, most indicators show that we will be dealing with this for some time to come. As we move into another dangerous season of natural disasters, please keep in mind the importance of keeping yourself protected while you work hard to help those recover.

Below is a list of some of the most needed items during this time of year. Between preparing and recovering, now is the time to stock up on these important items that continue to be hard to find at your standard big box stores.

Beneficial Items Include:

How you can help:

Contact your local nonprofit: Find out what initiatives local nonprofits are taking to help those affected, and donate the products they need most.

Contact your church: Often times, churches will work with other branches or sister churches during these times to collect and ship them the products they need.
