This project is fully funded

My Project

In the Teacher Cadet program, my high school students serve as mentors and role models for younger elementary schools within our school district. Every year, they are tasked with creating puppet shows to present to these younger students, highlighting the importance of self-esteem. I am requesting Books, Permanent Markers, Glue Sticks, Glitter Glue, Crayola Kid's Markers, and more.

With these books and materials, my Teacher Cadets will be able to build unique puppet show skits to share with younger students, focusing on the theme of self-esteem.

As my high school students visit elementary schools, these books developed into puppet shows will allow them to make an impact on younger students within the district.
