Brrr It's Cold Outside

Help me give my students a warm jacket for the cold winter mornings.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Hernandez's classroom raised $1,379

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Students

My students come from many different parts of the world. We have at least seven different countries and languages represented in my class. Unfortunately, my students come from less affluent homes. Lots of my kids are refugees who come from war-torn countries. My students are eager to learn, and they work hard every day to do their best.

Most of my students speak very little English and have never been to school before.

I also have my English-speaking students who sadly share the same socioeconomic background. We are located in a very low-income part of San Diego.

My Project

This Winter has been especially cold here in San Diego. My students come to school without a jacket or sweater and are always cold. We all know that we can't learn when we are cold. It is hard enough to get out of our warm bed but to go outside without a proper jacket is just brutal.

My students need warm jackets to get from home to school every day.

Most of my students and their families are struggling to make ends meet during this pandemic and a jacket might be an extra expense they can't afford. Please help me get my students the proper clothes to get through these cold mornings.
