Winter Kit Essentials!

Help me give my students the winter kit essentials to keep them warm, cozy and safe as the weather can be so unpredictable sometimes. It can get really cold and freezing outside as the temperature drops during winter.

My Project

This project will reach 22 kindergarten students with the goal of keeping them warm and safe because the flu is so common this winter season. Students recently are getting sick with illnesses such as the flu, fever and cough due to the sudden drop in temperatures, in the mornings, as they arrive at school. If we have the kit with us in our classroom, students will be able to use the resources in the kit to stay warm and healthy and this will reduce absences. My students are sweet, loving and caring individuals who want to be appreciated and I just wish to keep them safe.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
