Help me give my students blankets to keep warm in the classroom as windows must be kept open due to the COVID-19 pandemic.

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month
This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because
it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.
My Students
Our school is a small Title I high school located in the Flatbush area of Brooklyn. We are located in "Asthma Alley," and sandwiched between two major urban bridges - the Brooklyn and Manhattan Bridges.
All of my students are recent arrivals to the United States and English Language Learners (ELLs).
They come from every part of the globe seeking a new life of opportunity and freedom here in the United States. They come with the hope that education will allow them to meet their full potential. Many are on public assistance; many others are barely surviving. Yet, my students are expected to meet the same educational standards as more affluent students of New York.
My Project
As winter approaches and temperatures drop, we must now contend with both COVID-19 and the elements.
To keep a safe airflow to reduce the spread of COVID, we must keep our classroom windows open this winter.
Needless to say, this makes for a very uncomfortable learning situation.
My project will provide some measure of warmth for our students by offering each one their own in-class blanket. We hope that these blankets will allow our students to concentrate on their learning and not their freezing tootsies.
Thank you for you support of our students during these trying times.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
