It’s no secret that there is a special friend that visits most girls monthly. They have to awkwardly sneak their item out of their bags or wear pants that have deep enough pockets to keep the item hidden.

This happens just about daily to one or more girls at MHS. Sneaking one would not stop per say, but having a sanitary item machine in the bathroom would really help out.

MHS has no currently stocked feminine product machines in the girls’ bathrooms. MMS has one that is no longer being used. There are girls at the school who don’t have the privilege of having those items all the time exactly when they are needed. Some girls even go without one for however long they can.

If you have ever had to walk up to a teacher and ask for one of those items, then you know that is single-handedly one of the most embarrassing things to do. Even having these in the bathroom for a quarter a piece would help with girls who happen to forget to put one in their book bag.

The products don’t have to be a specific brand. What’s being asked is that the school provides a metal dispenser that for one quarter will give you a pad or a tampon.

These machines could even replace the towel holders that aren’t being used as well. The wonderful ladies and gentlemen that help clean things up after school could restock at the end of the day so we are never low.

All girls need them. Even if you don’t have a period, you can understand how difficult that would be to bring one to the bathroom every time. Ladies can be forgetful; helping girls out is one small burden the school should take on.
