Warm Winter Gifts

Help me give my students have a warm and safe winter holiday season.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Padilla's classroom raised $185

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Project

The items I am requesting for my class will definitely make a difference in the student's learning because they will not be worried about having the items they need when the weather changes. My students come from a low economic background and may not always have the resources to be ready when there is a change in the weather. The project will guarantee that all students a necessary gift this winter holiday season.

The goals for this project is for all the students to take a beanie hat and a set of gloves to keep them warm this winter holiday season.

Not all students have the means have the the necessary items to keep them warm.

My students are special because they are extremely smart. The students just need a little push into the right directions. My students are motivated to come to school.
