Crowning Confidence: Jewels Hats for Sisterhood and Pride

Help me give my students a custom Jewels hat that helps them feel included, confident, and proud to be part of a supportive sisterhood.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Simmons's classroom raised $184

My Project

I absolutely love how bright, compassionate, and full of potential my Jewels are. Each girl in our mentor group brings something unique to the table, and together they create a powerful sisterhood built on encouragement, leadership, and personal growth.

This project will provide each Jewel with a custom-designed hat featuring our group's logo.

More than just a piece of clothing, these hats will serve as a symbol of belonging. When the girls wear them, they’ll feel recognized, valued, and proud to be part of something meaningful. It’s a small gesture with a significant impact—boosting self-esteem, building unity, and helping our Jewels stand tall both in and out of school.

Receiving these hats at our first official meeting will help set the tone for the year, reinforcing that they are seen, supported, and celebrated. Your support allows us to create a space where every girl feels like she truly shines.
