Many of them come from low-income households and face challenges outside of the classroom that no child should have to endure. Despite this, they come to school eager to learn, grow, and be part of a caring classroom community.\r\n\r\nThis project is about more than just providing warmth—it's about comfort, security, and showing my students that they are cared for.\r\nNow that the weather turned colder, many of my students come to school without proper winter gear. Some of them do not have access to adequate heating at home or even a warm blanket to sleep with. I can now provide each child with a soft, cozy blanket they can call their own—something they can use during quiet reading time at school and take home during breaks.\r\n\r\nYour donation will help provide Individual blankets for each student, a sense of comfort, especially for students who may be experiencing housing insecurity, and a physical reminder that they are valued and loved. This winter has been cold and snowy and another storm is approaching.","fullyFundedDate":1764727279228,"projectUrl":"project/blankets-for-warmth-and-security/9817705/","projectTitle":"Blankets for Warmth and Security!","teacherDisplayName":"Mrs. Campbell","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://cdn.donorschoose.net/images/placeholder-avatars/272/teacher-placeholder-8_272.png?auto=webp","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/6077494"},{"teacherId":9213345,"projectId":9679095,"letterContent":"Thank you so much for your support on my classroom project.
