Winter Essentials to Warm Students' Hearts & Hands

Help me give my students cold weather care both inside and outside of the classroom.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Shanice's classroom raised $308

My Project

As winter approaches, many high school students are forced to endure harsh weather conditions while walking to and from school or waiting for the bus. The discomfort of being cold can affect their mood, energy levels, and overall focus in class, making it harder for them to succeed academically.

By providing winter essentials, we can help to ensure that all students are equipped to stay warm and ready to learn.

These items will go beyond just physical warmth and comfort—they will foster an environment of support that helps students thrive both academically and socially. When students feel confident and cared for, they are more likely to engage in class, participate in activities, and build positive relationships with their peers and teachers.

By supporting this project, you are not only giving my students the tools they need to weather a harsh winter, but you are also empowering them to participate fully in school, leading to better overall outcomes.
