“Cozy Christmas Keepsakes: Blankets for 5th Graders”

Help me give my students a special gift from their 5th grade family for the holidays. We want to provide all students with a warm and comfy blanket!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Elissa McLaughlin's classroom raised $752

My Project

Blankets can make Christmas special for my students by offering warmth, comfort, and fun during the holiday season. Blankets can provide a sense of warmth and security, creating a cozy environment at home. Many of my students may not have access to new or comfortable blankets, and receiving one can be a source of comfort during the colder months. I am also hoping these can be a lasting reminder of how much I care about them beyond the classroom.

A blanket provides physical warmth, which can be especially comforting during the colder months.

For children, it also offers emotional warmth—a sense of safety and security that they can cherish at home. A cozy blanket can promote downtime, reading, or simply unwinding.
