My Project

In a community that is mostly low income or military there is constant changes. The city we reside has many weather struggles along with everyday family concerns. Students wear their hearts on their sleeves and need a pick me up from time to time. We want to bring brightness to our whole school from the inside out. We will involve the community to join in at our school as well as go out to spread kindness in our area.

Brightness Buddies will bring comfort and happiness to all they come in contact with.

We plan to have monthly hospitality cart days, monthly marigold awards and so much more. We will lift each other up one day at a time and when we can't, we will take it an hour at a time. When everyone feels their place is valued is when the real learning begins in not just education, but lifelong skills built.
