My Project

Hello Donors, thank you for taking the time to learn about our classroom project. Please help me keep my students warm this winter. I have hats and gloves on my list because a lot of my students dont have these items. We take our children outside twice a day and a lot of the children tell us that their ears are cold. They tell us how cold their hands are. I put stuffed animals on my list because feel these would be great for the kids to have at naptime for a comfort toy. I did choose snack items. These are good to send home with the children because some of our children lack good heathy snacks at home.
