Bouncing Away!

Help me give my students bounce houses to jump on during fun day!

My Project

Bouncing Away! is a project to help fund our Fun Day event at the end of the school year. We always rent bounce houses, play games, and have other fun things for students to do ALL day long! Students play BINGO, win prizes, participate in relay races and best of all, JUMP!

Students will be jumping their hearts out and having fun with their friends with the rental equipment requested.

Students will have the opportunity to let loose for the first time all year!

Fun Day is a culminating event that recognizes the achievements of all students in grades PreK-8 and gives them a day to simply be kids and have fun! Students look forward to fun day all year long and they deserve a day just for them.

These bounce houses are the pinnacle of our Fun Day event and saving this money would be amazing so we can purchase other items for students.

We would love to have these bounce houses and snack machines to help celebrate and keep making memories for students.

All of the fun day is to recognize students for their hard work all year long. Students finally get a day for fun ALL day instead of just academics. It's a great way to celebrate their achievements! This culminating event means a lot to students, especially when they can enjoy it with friends.
