Help me give my students a graduation send off. My 8th graders have worked hard and diligent this year and deserve a proper send off.

My Project

I plan to use the items in my project to first decorate a graduation board for my 8th grade graduates. I have graduation trim and cutoffs to send them off properly.

My 8th grade students have worked hard and diligently this year and deserve a proper send off.

I want them to look forward to the next phase of their life with moving into high school and beyond. A lot of students are not in the position to celebrate graduation but I would like to offer them something to look back on and enjoy. Something they will remember when they look at their gifts.

Please consider donating to my students to send them off properly and make this an enjoyable experience for them.
