🧥❄️ The Cold Mornings Are Here! ❄️🧥

As temperatures drop, many of our middle and high school students need your help to stay warm this winter.
We’re collecting new hoodies, jackets, and coats in adult sizes — these are the items our schools need most right now.
✨ Hoodies are especially in demand! ✨

💙 Drop off your items at any SFPS school or district office today and help us spread the warmth! 💙
Your donation can make a real difference for a student walking to school on a cold Santa Fe morning.

🧥❄️ Winter Warmth Drive ❄️🧥

We need YOUR help to keep our middle and high school students warm this winter!

While we often receive plenty of coats for elementary students, adult sizes are frequently overlooked. That’s why we’re asking for donations of new hoodies, jackets, and coats in adult sizes.

✨ Hoodies are especially preferred! ✨

Together, we can make sure every student stays warm this season. 💙
