Gifts From the Heart While We're Apart: Winter Break Edition

Help me give my students a goodie bag with holiday treats, activity pads, and more to help brighten their winter break!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Evans's classroom raised $440

My Project

It has been a wonderful few months back at school learning. Thinking ahead to our winter break and how I would love to spread some some holiday cheer, my students would especially appreciate thoughtful gift bags that represent some of their favorites and what they love. Within these goodie bags, I would like to include items such as hot cocoa, candy canes, and stress relief activities. I would also like to give my students a much-needed brain break by supplying them with fun and educational winter activity workbooks. I know these items will add a little bit of winter cheer to their break!
