My Project

Being in a full-day preschool program, outdoor activity is required twice a day for at least 30 minutes. This happens whether or not our students are able to bring warm attire or not. We try to support our families with resources if they are in need of warm attire for their students. It truly helps when we have an extra supply to help keep our students warm, especially in Michigan.

Please help us build our extra clothes supply so that we always have a way to keep our students warm no matter what.

I have included hats, gloves, mittens, scarves, and even a few pairs of snow pants. I also added socks because some students come with no socks on or very short socks and their feet freeze outside. We truly want to do what we can do because playing out in the cold can be fun, but being cold until it hurts is not.
