Help me give my students a belt and tie to dress for SUCCESS!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Kelch's classroom raised $507

This project is fully funded

My Project

Millennium Middle School Young Men of Distinction 22-23 School Year. Mission Statement: Young Men of Distinction is a class that emphasizes the importance of inclusion, leadership, responsibility, and accountability all in a safe environment.

My students need belts and ties.

This class is at the middle school level and is connected to the Young Men of Excellence program based in all Seminole County, Florida, High Schools. One small aspect of the program seeks to dress these young men for future success. We would like to be able to provide them each with a new belt and new tie of their style and choice.
