My Project

The Student Leadership Team at our school (grades 3-5) would love your support in purchasing the necessary materials for implementing Student News. As a group, they hope to use the backdrops and microphones to provide weekly news, share activities, communicate fundraiser information, reveal positive experiences, divulge current events, and more!

Our students are excited to bring back "Student News" and hope to use this opportunity to support other students, teachers, and community members within Swartz Creek, Michigan.

Our goal for this project is to begin as soon as possible so our students receive the necessary information they will need as far as news. We would also love to use the Student News to advertise fundraisers where we will receive money for opportunities for our students and for charities.
