It's Cold Outside!

Help me give my students coats, hats and blankets to keep them warm during the winter season!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Foster's classroom raised $2,527

My Project

Here in the nation's capital, it gets very cold during the winter months. Most of my students and their families walk or use public transportation, so it is essential that they have warm jackets and blankets to keep them warm.

I want to provide each of my students with a warm coat, hat and gloves set, blanket and bag to carry everything in as season begins to change!

I've noticed that some of my students have coats with broken zippers or thin lining, so providing them with these essentials will help them and their families better focus on their academic growth and development. Please help me keep my little learners warm!
