Plushies for Joy

Help me give my students a little bit of joy over Christmas. Even though they are high school students they enjoy plush toys as social emotional support.

My Project

Please provide my students with a little holiday joy this coming season.

Even though my students are high schoolers, they rely on social emotional supports such as plushies.

I feel that being able to give them a little plush this holiday to help them find comfort and happiness will bring them great joy.

Many of my students come from low socioeconomic households where gifts for the holiday are in short supply. Gifting them these little stuffies will make the holiday season brighter for them.

They can also bring them to class to lessen anxiety during their school day. I believe these small comforts help my students immensely and improve their school performance.
