My Project

Our kindergarten students are one of a kind and we would like to have a premier graduation ceremony for them. We want to teach our students to not only do well in school but to instill in them a love of learning that will enable them to succeed for years to come! By having this graduation ceremony, we will be celebrating this years success despite the many challenges that we all faced along the way. We are blessed to work at a Title I school where we have the unique opportunity to work with students from various backgrounds. The majority of our students come from low-income households.

This would be an unforgettable experience for them!

With your help, we would like to purchase a cap and gown for each kindergarten student to wear at their graduation ceremony. These caps and gowns would be used for many years to come as we celebrate the successes of each year.
