Toasty in the Winter

Help me give my students gloves, hats, and coats to keep warm during the cold weather days.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Fraas's classroom raised $169

This project is fully funded

My Students

My students sit in a classroom that is culturally balanced. My students come from various countries and speak various languages at home. The students in my class come from families that are struggling financially. The students attend a Title I school where funds are limited to purchase things that will enhance their learning outside of a textbook.

The students in my class are hands-on learners and learn better without a pencil in their hands.

Many of my students also suffer from attention deficit disorder in which distraction overrides their learning

My Project

Do you remember what it is like to go outside on a crisp, snowy day? Well, many times my students come to school without the basic warm clothing that keeps them warm when waiting for the bus or playing outside at recess on a crisp, cool day.

I love taking my students outside even when it is cold and snowy outside, but without proper outside wear, we are unable to refresh for the afternoon of learning.

My students need coats, gloves, and hats to keep them warm in the crisp air. I believe it is important for my students to get out and get some fresh air, even on cold days. Having these items will allow us to continue to go outside and enjoy the sun and fresh air.
