Big Kids Love Crafts Too

Help me give my students art supplies for our annual Junior and Senior Fest!

My Project

At the end of each school year, we hold a festival to celebrate our juniors and seniors. Every student on our campus has enrolled in at least one AP or Dual Enrollment course by junior year. These students have a demanding, rigorous course load - and junior and senior year are stressful with exams and college applications. We are also a small school, where the juniors and seniors are friends.

Our annual Junior and Senior Fest is a way for us to celebrate the hard work of our upperclassmen while also providing them a last opportunity for bonding before the seniors graduate: this Fest is full of free games, prizes, and activities that ensure a fun night for all!

One of the surprising additions to our celebration is an arts and crafts room - which stays packed all night. Help us stock it with materials to make tie dye shirts and paints. With your help, we can make this a memorable night for some amazing kids!
