Help me give my students supplies to create a welcoming, collaborative, and fun school year.

My Project

Our students are bright, creative, and full of heart. Middle school can be a tough time socially and emotionally, and students thrive in a space that feels safe, festive, and full of positive energy. This project will fund decor for our annual 8th grade Friendsgiving meal, twinkle lights to brighten up our hallways, pancake mix for a holiday 8th grade breakfast, and motivational signs to provide daily inspiration.

These simple items will help set the tone for a supportive school culture—one where students feel proud of their space, look forward to traditions, and carry positive messages with them throughout their day.

Ms. Pallas Middle School 61 Dr Gladstone H Atwell Grades 6-8
