My Project

I have the most amazing students and work in an amazing school. My students work so hard and we love to recognize them for everything that they do. We have so many amazing events in school and what better way to recognize students achievements than with balloons. Balloons are something that universally brings cheer to everyone who sees it whether it is for an award ceremony, school dance, sister to sister function, boys 2 men, graduation, moving up ceremonies, alumni day, college and career day, etc. As a teacher, I am constantly going out to Party City or Dollar Tree to get balloons for all these events and the cost keeps going up. However, I want my students to have balloons because as soon as they see it, they know something amazing is happening. I thought it would be amazing to have helium tanks in school so that we can blow up balloons as needed in school rather than having to go out and get them constantly.

Students love to feel special and that is how balloons make them feel, but we need helium to be able to do this.

By having helium in my school, my students will be able to have balloons for all school events whenever we need it. By having this helium for balloons, it will motivate my amazing students to keep trying and to push them to work even harder. I want to give my students the best education and school experience that they can have and having helium for balloons will help them remember their amazing school experience.
