A Day to Remember - Middle School Graduation

Help me give my students a graduation gift to reward all their hard work during middle school.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Banuelos's classroom raised $307

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Middle School is a critical part of any student's journey, but it can also be a turbulent time. Before my students leave middle school behind, I would like to give them a small reminder of all they have achieved. More importantly, a memento to remind them of all they can and will achieve. The items will be put into a gift bag that will be given to students on their last day of school. As a counselor, it is important for me that the day be memorable for all students. One way to ensure that is to have each student receive a small gift.
