My Project

The chilly winter months are quickly approaching, and I would love to gift all of my students personalized sweatshirts to put over their uniforms. I have had new students come in from other countries. I would love to help these newcomers with the appropriate sweatshirts that will help keep them warm and their minds sharp. These materials would be theirs to keep. Please help me to eliminate some of the winter frigidness and make my students feel warm and cozy by gifting my students these shirts that I can personalize myself with their names and school mascot. My students will be forever grateful.

These sweatshirts are important.

The gift of these sweatshirts will help keep my students warm and feeling loved.
