Warmth and Comfort for the Holidays

Help me give my students hats, gloves, and handmade scarves this cold winter season.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Sears's classroom raised $393

This project is fully funded

My Project

My students are from a low income community. We have Title 1 funding and 100% free lunch. My mother-in-law hand crochets scarves for several classes each year. She needs more yarn to reach more children. She is hoping to crochet over 60 scarves this season for our students.

The students feel cared for when they receive the gift of warmth in winter.

We will be handing out every hat and pair of gloves so students can stay warm through the freezing temperatures.

The glue guns and tape is for all our winter projects and gift wrapping. The students have already started crafting for the holidays. The little mochis are to restock the students' prizes. Thank you for considering my project.
