Paschal Sherman Indian School
Omak, Washington
Paschal Sherman Indian School sits within the boundaries of the Confederated Tribes of The Colville Reservation. PSIS Superintendent Waylon Michel contacted us in July 2024 to request period support for the school’s students, including about 50 students who live in school dormitories through ninth grade.
We jumped right in to supply our moon time bags and other period care and puberty education materials for the 100 or so students getting ready to start the new school year. This is our first school in Washington, which is an exciting development!
“What a great program. Having the feminine supplies on hand breaks down one more barrier between students and their opportunity for happy, healthy learning,” said PSIS School Nurse Ben Swartsel (shown above). “The personalized bags are beautiful, and you can tell the care that was put into making them.”
Ben also shared this distribution photo that he took earlier this month. (Some of the students, like some of us at The Kwek Society, are a bit shy.)
