My Project

Since August, I have witnessed the hard work and dedication of the 12th-grade class at our High School as they have persevered through challenging exams, college applications, at-home responsibilities, sports, music performances, and so much more. I am requesting the following resources to highlight their many achievements and to support them as they transition into the next stage of their lives.

Whether students plan to attend a four-year or community college, pursue an alternative career pathway such as working in a family business, or join the military, I want every senior to feel uplifted and recognized for their accomplishments.

With the generous support of donations, students can use Apple AirPods to study and complete homework or job-related tasks with fewer distractions. JBL speakers provide opportunities for study breaks and moments of rest between classes or work commitments. HydroJugs, convenient ramen packs, and access to a Keurig coffee machine help students stay fueled, hydrated, and energized. For homework and career planning, organizational supplies such as Post-it notes, pens, folders, and Nike backpacks allow students to stay prepared and organized.

By celebrating every postsecondary journey, this event uplifts student success and inspires underclassmen to envision what comes next. Donations directly provide students with the tools and resources they need to pursue their goals. Thank you for your continued support.
