Scottie Dog Care Closet Meets Student Needs at McLaurin Elementary As teachers, we know that our job does not stop at preparing and teaching lessons. Our job is to make sure that our students are safe and that all of their needs are met. The staff at McLaurin has rallied together to create a care closet for the students in our school. The goal for our care closet is to give students access to the basic needs in their life so that they are able to focus on their education. McLaurin has wonderful parents and community members that have supplied our closets with many items. We have one closet that is filled with personal care items such as shampoo/conditioner, toothbrushes/ toothpaste, and soap. Our second closet has educational supplies where students can get items like pencils, paper, and journals. As we can see from Maslow’s hierarchy of needs, physiological needs are vital for a human to reach their full potential. These items in the care closet allow students to meet those needs. Students are able to get the items that they need in privacy to avoid embarrassment from their peers. At McLaurin, we are a family and families take care of each other.
