My Project

As the school year comes to a close, I envision a joyful and exciting Summer Countdown to celebrate the incredible effort and growth our students have shown. This countdown isn't just about marking time—it’s about making each day special, creating memories, and ending the year with the celebration our students deserve. I want to fill these final school days with small moments of joy that bring big smiles: a popcorn and movie day, a glow-themed day filled with fun and creativity, and enjoying popsicles under the sun while having a student of the day that gets to use special teacher supplies and special writing materials. These simple but meaningful experiences can make a lasting impression and let our students know how proud we are of all they’ve accomplished.

At our Title I school, many students don’t always have access to these types of experiences outside the classroom, and that’s exactly why I feel honored and excited to bring this vision to life.

This isn’t just a fun countdown—it’s an opportunity to give our students something memorable, to reward their hard work. Every donation will go directly toward creating a joyful, inclusive experience that each child can look forward to.
