My Project
As winter approaches, many children in our community are in need of essential winter gear, including hats, gloves, and scarves, to stay warm and protected from the cold. Unfortunately, not every child has these items, leaving children vulnerable to the harsh winter conditions. I am a third grade teacher in New Jersey’s second-largest, urban school district. More than half of the students in my school get free or reduced-price lunch. My school embraces a school motto that emphasizes "Respect, Accepting Others, Caring, and Excelling" in all areas. I "loop" with the same group of children and teach them for two years. My classroom is "home" to a racially, culturally, and ethnically diverse group of amazing youngsters. I am proud to be their teacher and treat this as a privilege.
This year, I am determined to set up a Care and Comfort Closet for my students.
The items in this closet are personal hygiene products, hair accessories, socks and underwear, gloves, and snacks to take home. This project is specifically requesting winter items, as they are the greatest need at this time.
Your contribution will ensure that these children can face the winter months with the warmth and comfort they deserve, allowing them to focus on their schoolwork, play, and enjoy the season without the worry of not having winter clothing.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
