My Project

This holiday season, I want to give my students a warm and cheerful surprise by providing each of them with a stocking stuffed with winter essentials like hats, gloves, and chapstick, as well as a few fun goodies.

Many of my students come from families where extra items for the cold season are not always accessible, and this project will help ensure they are prepared for the chilly winter days.

Beyond the gifts, I also want to transform our classroom into a winter wonderland. With your support, we can deck the halls with festive decorations that bring joy and excitement to my students. Together, we'll create a magical holiday experience that they'll remember for years to come!

What We Need:

Stockings: To fill with gifts and essentials.

Winter Hats & Gloves:

Keeping my students warm during winter recess

Chapstick

For protection from the cold and dry weather.

Holiday Goodies

Fun, small treats to bring a smile to their faces.

Classroom Decorations

Christmas tree, ornaments, holiday bulletin board set , and crafting supplies to transform our space into a festive wonderland.

Why This Matters: Many of my students face financial challenges, and the winter months can be especially tough. This project will not only provide them with essentials for the cold but also foster a sense of joy and community as we celebrate the holiday season together.
