My Project

Hi! As the class of ‘23 student council, we, along with our class, have gone through so much not only in these past 4 years, but also in the few months that we have been back in school. Senior year has been very stressful for us, but one of the things our class has been looking forward to most is decorating our senior hallway. Because our year is ‘23, we decided that we would like our theme to be modeled after the Greatest of all Time, Michael Jordan.

We believe that this hallway will restore our excitement for senior year and school spirit!

We curated a list of materials that will help us restore our school spirit and celebrate our successes through high school. These items include balloons, streamers, fringe, and paper to make individualized mini jerseys for each of our graduates!

We would love it if you could donate and/or share this Donors Choose.org in order to help our class regain our positive outlook on our last semester of school. Thank you for reading and for all of your support!

Ms. Ata Lindblom Math Science Academy Grades 9-12
