With temperatures falling earlier this month, Mildred Hall teacher Courtney Jung noticed some shivering students werenSA国际影视传媒檛 fully dressed for the winter.

She teamed up with Donna Meister, an officer administrator at the school, and on Tuesday posted to Facebook inviting donations of winter clothing. The results have come quick, and generously.

Jung has already given away five full snowsuits and SA国际影视传媒渁 lot of neckwarmers,SA国际影视传媒� though she estimates more have been given away at the school since.

SA国际影视传媒淚f you donSA国际影视传媒檛 have to sell it, why not give it to those who need it?SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Boots, however, continue to be in short supply. While they wear out quickly, even if community members donate outside liners, itSA国际影视传媒檚 easy to find inside liners around town.  Sizes 10, 12 and 14 are some of the hardest to find for youth winter gear, she said, and would be very welcome. Neck warmers and scarves are also needed.

So far, sheSA国际影视传媒檚 received items at her home and at the school.

A few members of the community have also messaged her about donating money so Jung can purchased winter-gear from the store. That said, sheSA国际影视传媒檚 looking more for re-used items because children can grow out of snow suits quickly.

Jung has offered to do pick-ups for donations, and handle any necessary washing.

In terms of handing out the suits, they go wherever thereSA国际影视传媒檚 need.

That said, from working at the school, Jung already had an idea of where the suits were needed.  SheSA国际影视传媒檒l bring in the snowsuits, matching them to each studentSA国际影视传媒檚 size, and if it fits, itSA国际影视传媒檚 theirs.

SA国际影视传媒淜ids are pretty excited. TheySA国际影视传媒檙e very happy when you show them a full snowsuit, a matching snowsuit. TheySA国际影视传媒檙e like, SA国际影视传媒榳ow I can have that?SA国际影视传媒� Yeah, itSA国际影视传媒檚 for you!SA国际影视传媒� she said.

Jung has also offered to share the gear with students at Weledeh Catholic School as well: SA国际影视传媒淚SA国际影视传媒檒l give it to anybody. If they say they need it, itSA国际影视传媒檚 theirs.SA国际影视传媒�

The generosity behind the drive has roots:  When JungSA国际影视传媒檚 home burned down two years ago, the community stepped up to help. Now she tries to return the favour when sheSA国际影视传媒檚 able.

SA国际影视传媒淲hen we got everything, you have everything you need right now, when youSA国际影视传媒檙e in a place like that you need to give back,SA国际影视传媒� she said.

So far, the results have been encouraging, and the proof's in the excitement from young students sporting proper winter gear as temperatures fall.

SA国际影视传媒淜ids learn through modelling. If they see us do things, theySA国际影视传媒檙e going to copy. And it makes them feel good when they see another kid happy.SA国际影视传媒�
