Winter Break Cheer

Help me give my students hot cocoa and candies in a goody bag to brighten their winter break!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Adams's classroom raised $203

My Students

At our Title I school with students who come from low-income or high-poverty homes, students are faced with challenges in and outside of the classroom. All of the students at our school receive free breakfast and lunch. Sometimes these meals are all that they may get for the day. Some of the students who are out our school face homelessness, live in shelters, motels, or are living with family members or friends.

Despite the obstacles that our students face, they show up to school (or on Zoom) with a smile on their faces and are excited to learn!

My Project

There is no doubt that this year has been rough. Students went home on March 13th and were unsure of when they would see their friends or their teachers again! Now that we are back in person, students are having to learn a new "normal" full of face masks, hand washing and staying 6 feet apart.

I want to give my students a goody bag full of treats to help brighten their winter break!

In these goody bags, I want to include hot cocoa to keep them warm (and of course you have to have candy canes for your hot cocoa!). I also want to add popcorn and candy to add a little bit of winter cheer to their break!
