Help me give my students winter coats. They are all new to the country, often from warmer climates, so they are not prepared for NYC winters. No proper coats prohibits students from attendance at times.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kopple's classroom raised $559

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
My high school serves students who have lived in the United States for four years or less. There is a welcoming environment in the school with many support services, ranging from providing help in legal matters to meeting the medical needs of the students. The school allows the new immigrants to learn about the world around them while developing their English skills.
All the students of the school have diverse linguistic, cultural, and educational backgrounds.
The diversity of the school allows the students to develop respect for other cultures and values while finding out their place in this world and how they can bring change for better. Students also work collaboratively on projects designed to bring out the richness of their cultures, experiences, and personalities. Students have the opportunity to be placed in an internship in 11th grade that matches their career interests.
My Project
Immigrant students often do not have the proper clothing to keep warm in NYC winters. Students lack winter coats, gloves, hats, scarfs to brave their commutes to school.
Being able to provide warm jackets for students makes them feel trust with the school and that they can be properly equipped for the weather.
The social work office is a place of refuge and resources.
With so much wealth in this world, it's too heartbreaking to think that students may not be able to come to school because of something as simple as a coat. Thanks for making a true difference.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
