My Project

Last year, we created Share the Warmth bins for students in our district. We had collected hats, scarves, and gloves. This year, we would like to add sweatshirts.

Students were able to choose items out of the bin to stay warm outside while playing or walking to and from school.

Our bins are now almost empty, and we would like to start helping the students stay warm this winter season again. Outside our school, we even have a coat rack along with our Share the Warmth bin for coats that anyone can take if they are in need of a winter coat. This would help our community stay warm in these coming months.
