My Project

Sources of strength is an initiative with our school district where we promote whole school campaigns to high school students against bullying, drugs and negative self concept. We want all our kids to feel included and like they are home away from home. We host meetings monthly and we would like up nourish our kids who run these campaigns. We also like to give out prizes throughout the year (in the form of candy and snacks) to students when we host games, attendance incentives etc. Your donation will help our youth stay afloat this year while working hard to combat mental health and other problems at the school.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
