Rainy Day Blues

Help me give my students rain gear, an umbrella, a first aid kit, lip balm, deodorant, and soap.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Vasha's classroom raised $200

My Project

Living on the Gulf Coast we have severe weather often. Rain gear can be hard to keep track of. They often get misplaced either in your car, at home, or in the classroom.

Having a rain jacket, a poncho, or an umbrella at school when unexpected rain happens will ease the minds of parents these days.

During the cold months, lips can get dry so students often need chapstick to keep them moisturized. Also, they are learning about hygiene, and soap and deodorant will help them to feel fresh throughout the day. Plus, the first aid kit will help students on field trips to stay healthy.
