Most restrooms within MRH High School and Middle School now offer a variety of multipurpose hygiene products, thanks to the efforts of three freshmen students who took on the project as part of their membership in Girl Scouts. The trio of Hadley Tucker, Millie Hamilton and Lucy Caravelli actually launched the effort as 8th graders, in meetings with the District’s Operations Department to determine how best to make their vision come true. 

Millie explains that the undertaking is part of their efforts to earn the Girl Scouts Silver Award, one of the organization’s highest honors. Going for the Silver Award gives young women the chance to show they are leaders who are organized, determined, and dedicated to improving their community.

Initially, their intent was to provide feminine hygiene products in school restrooms, but when they learned that another MRH club -- Women Who Look Ahead - was already working on a similar project, they pivoted to include a wider array of hygiene products such as deodorants, first aid and dental care supplies. 

The students launched a GoFundMe campaign to raise the money to purchase the restroom supplies. They are hoping for continued contributions in order to keep the project alive for years to come.
