Build a Bear, Build a Friend, Part 2

Help me give my students great clothing for their furry Build a Bear friends.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Romaniello's classroom raised $285

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students are a wonderful and exciting group of boys and girls, in an ICT (integrated collaborative teaching) classroom. This means that 40% of my students are in special education, and the rest are in general education.

We are a Title I school and work hard to ensure that everyone learns and succeeds.

I want them to have everything they need, and deserve to have, to make their school year exciting and fun, as well as productive and successful throughout the entire year.

My Project

My students will receive furry friends (with the help of another project). Now, all they need is the clothing that will help make their furry friends special.

Do you remember your first furry friend?

I want to give that to my kindergarten babies. I want them to experience the special bond between a bear and a child. They will be able to hold, cuddle and share life's secrets and experiences for as long as they need to. These clothing options will help dress their friends. There are plenty of different sleepers and dresses to help give them choices. Thank you!
