My Project

Our students are energetic, diverse learners who thrive with structure, encouragement, and incentives. Many of them benefit from hands-on, movement-based activities to help them release energy, build teamwork, and develop healthy habits. They are motivated by opportunities to engage in activities that feel like a reward for their hard work. Fun Friday is our school-wide incentive program designed to celebrate students who stay on track, complete assignments, and demonstrate positive behavior throughout the week.

By donating to this project, you will help purchase a set of durable sports equipment, including footballs, volleyballs, soccer balls, and jump ropes, that will be used during these end-of-week celebrations.

These items will promote physical activity, foster social skills, and provide students with a goal to look forward to each week.

It’s more than just recess; it’s a celebration of student success and positive school culture.

Mrs. Thompson J.G. McCracken Middle School Grades 6-8
