Every student who needed an added layer to keep them warm received one, and we have plenty more available thanks to your donations.\r\n\r\nThe Tepper Foundation funded my entire project. All sweatshirts were delivered within days. We were able to sort and identify students in need. We were able to make sure they were warm from the cold and wind.
