Help Assure Our Prom Decs Are Shining & Stayin' Alive!

Help me give my students a prom that shines and keeps their spirits alive!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Wilkins's classroom raised $156

My Project

Our junior class works hard to plan prom for their classmates every year. This year, two students have single-handedly planned prom and have worked so hard for their class. Ever since COVID, fundraising motivation and student involvement has declined. Due to increases in the cost of living, everyone's budgets are stretched, so we don't have the fundraising success that we used to.

We want to put on a prom that shines, so gaining funds for this disco ball would help us do just that.

We would be able to use this disco ball for years to come. It will help our prom sparkle and shine!
