My Project

I teach an incredible group of students who are full of energy, creativity, and curiosity. Many of my students come from under-resourced communities, and for many, school is their safe place — a consistent and supportive environment where they can grow socially, emotionally, and academically.

Each new school year is a chance to reset, dream big, and feel hopeful.

I want my students to walk into the building on Day One and feel like they’re stepping into something special — something just for them.

First impressions matter. A fun, festive atmosphere on the first day of school can ease nerves, boost confidence, and build a sense of pride and community. Many of our students have never experienced a celebratory welcome like this. Balloon decor is a small investment that creates a BIG emotional return — especially for kids who may not always feel seen or celebrated.
