My Project

In our pursuit of creating a secure and welcoming learning environment, we seek funding for the implementation of crucial safety measures at our school. The purchase of blackout curtains, curtain rods, and doorbells will play a pivotal role in fortifying our commitment to the safely and well-being of our students and staff while also implementing the Great Expectations of our school.

Installing these safety measures empowers our students to take an active role in their safely by managing the entrance environment.

With our Great Expectations, each student greets a guest with a complete sentence, a smile, and an offer of a seat to take. A doorbell helps alert students to be proactive in their greeting and be respectful and responsible with recognizing guests.

Furthermore, the doorbells and curtains will streamline our safety drills, enhancing their effectiveness and efficiency. These items align with our school's ethos of fostering a safe, inclusive, and proactive learning environment-free from threat. The project not only addresses immediate concerns but also empowers our students to embrace responsibility and uphold the life principles for a thriving educational community.
