My Project

Living in the Northeast it can get very cold in the winter. For many of my students this is their first winter in Maine. My students come from around the world including countries in Africa and South America. Families do not always know what to expect or financial limitations make it challenging to provide expensive warm winter clothes.

Every child deserves to stay warm in the winter.

Our winters can be very cold. These warm winter gloves will help to keep my students warm and allow for them to enjoy playing outside!

We play outside almost every day! Many children come to school with very thin cheap gloves that get wet easily from the snow or provide very little protection from the cold. With your help, I will be able to provide every child in my class a pair of warm winter gloves, plus a few extra for when a pair or two get lost.

By supporting this project you will not only keep my students' hands warm this winter, you will also warm their hearts with your generosity.

Thank you for supporting my project!
