🧥❤️ Helping Students Stay Warm, One Coat at a Time! ❄️
A warm coat can make a big difference, and Ms. Haley Mitchell of Community Elementary School is helping make sure students have a little extra warmth this winter! 💜💛
Through the 4th annual coat drive hosted by New Vision Baptist Church of Unionville, 30 new and gently used coats will be helping provide #students with what they need to stay warm during the colder months. This meaningful effort is a wonderful example of how caring educators and community members can come together to support students beyond the classroom. 🧤❄️
A heartfelt #ThankYou to Ms. Mitchell, New Vision Baptist Church of Unionville and everyone who helped make this effort possible. Your kindness will help students stay warm and remind them that they are cared for! ❤️
