My Project

Every day, I work with students in Pre-K through 8th grade who are in the beginning to imagine what their futures might hold.

Many students struggle to dream about what their post-secondary futures may hold.

Some feel it's not a reality or too far of a reach. The colorful flags will be a great visual for the students. It will be displayed in an artistic and creative way---to help plant the seed.

Hanging the flags as art will be for students to be reminded what's possible. It's a great way to start conversations and raise awareness. Our students know that their teachers went to college. But, with the flags and pennants, they will be reminded that they can do it too.
