My Project

Dear DonorsChoose Community,

Help me give my students a delicious and memorable end-of-year celebration!

My school is in a low-income area, and many of my students don’t always have access to the special treats and snacks that can make events like this feel extra special. As the school year comes to a close, I want to celebrate the hard work, dedication, and growth my students have shown. A small snack-filled party with some small toys choices is the perfect way to end the year on a positive note, and it would mean so much to them.

With your support, we can provide a variety of snacks and a small toy for all students to enjoy during this special occasion. It will not only be a fun and joyful moment, but it will also allow them to bond with their classmates and create lasting memories. These snacks and toys will make the event even more exciting and provide a sweet way to reward their efforts throughout the year.

Your generosity will help create a festive atmosphere and ensure that every student has a treat to enjoy. Thank you for considering this request and helping make our end-of-year celebration!
