My Project

Our students are warm and giving, and this season can be a really tough time for them because many of them are in need. The joy of the holiday season may be met with many hardships, and students can feel a sense of sadness and separation.

Help us allow all students to receive gifts and toys for the holiday.

Allowing them to give to others and receive will be valuable for them to spread kindness throughout the school community. This year I want to have gifts for every student in my classes.

In addition to the toys and gifts, students will be able to take home hats and gloves to stay warm during the winter months. So many students come to school without hats and gloves, and the holiday season is the best time to make sure each student is provided with this warmth and safety.

Being able to share in this giving experience this holiday season will bring joy and happiness to our students while teaching them the value of kindness. The pens and notebooks will continue to encourage the importance of writing; many of them are struggling with achieving literacy. The fidget toys will be great stocking stuffers while contributing to students' social emotional learning goals. We will also pack some treats and goodies in their gift bags to bring about more holiday cheer!

We want to create a ripple effect of kindness and compassion through giving in our school community to impact students and the overall culture.
