My Project

I teach English Learners at a school in the northeast region. Most of my students come to us from warm countries and are not used to the cold. Most haven't even seen snow! They are not fully prepared for the harsh winters and cold.

Having basic needs of warmth and comfort, such as hats, gloves, coats, and scarves, allows them to arrive at school ready to learn.

It is my goal to provide warm items for any student who may need them.

This project will give me a start to make sure that all children who need these items get them. It will be one less thing for them to worry about.
