My Project

This project is designed to create a clothing closet in our school building that will help any students in need. I would love to give all of my students personalized sweatshirts to wear with their uniforms.

I have had new students come in from other countries and I would love to help these newcomers with the appropriate sweatshirts that will help keep them warm and their minds sharp.

Help me to make my students feel warm and cozy by providing my students these sweatshirts that I will personalize myself with their names and the school mascot.
