Waterproof Mittens

Help me give my students waterproof mittens so they can play in the snow and stay dry.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Carolyn's classroom raised $340

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our classroom goes outside twice a day to play in all weather. Many of our children do not have the proper gear to play in the snow and we are hoping to have a classroom supply of waterproof mittens. We are working to supply all outdoor gear.

Please help keep our children’s hands warm and dry.

Most of our children come to school with either no mittens or hand knit mittens that just turn to ice once wet. We would use these every day in the winter months here in Maine for this class as well as our future children.

We truly appreciate DonorsChoose and all the people that help the classroom projects.
