#Dolphin Nation

Help me give my students #DolphinNation!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Arrington's classroom raised $1,082

This project is fully funded

My Project

We are a proud Title I school that services students from Pre-Kindergarten through 5th grade. This year, we are excited to celebrate a major milestone — the 70th anniversary of Sinclair Lane Elementary’ s existence!

Our school mascot is the dolphin, and we believe it perfectly symbolizes the energy, intelligence, and community spirit of our scholars.

In celebration of this special anniversary and to further enhance school spirit, we are seeking a donation of all things dolphin. Having the dolphin show up in books, hats (for student of the month); wall decals in bathrooms, and wall art would add laughter, joy, and new incentives to our learning environment. It would not only boost student engagement during academic celebrations and school-wide events but also help create memorable experiences that inspire pride and connection among our students.
