Our Hands Are Cold and We Have Rumbly Tummies!

Help me give my students food to refuel and warmth for their hands!

My Project

Help me give my students quality gloves and mittens to keep their hands warm and snacks during the school days and before they go home.

It's cold outside and many of my students do not have proper protection for their hands.

Outside recess starts at 20 degrees, and 10 degrees with the wind chill, baby it's cold outside! In addition, I have several students who walk to and from school each day.

By having the snack items I requested my students will be better able to handle our winter and our learning.
