From Heat to Heart: Custom Uniforms for Confident Learners

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Aurelus's classroom raised $349

My Project

Our goal is to empower students through both education and dignity. With a heat press machine and accessories, we will create custom uniforms for our STEM program and provide personalized shirts and apparel for homeless and less fortunate children in our school community.

As a first-year teacher in an inner-city school, I’m committed to creating equitable learning experiences that uplift every child.

These uniforms will not only foster a sense of unity, pride, and professionalism within our STEM program, but they will also ensure that every student—regardless of their circumstances—feels seen, valued, and included. With your support, we can give our students more than clothing; we can give them confidence, identity, and a stronger sense of belonging.
