Help Decorate Our Hive!

Help me give my students an environment filled with college pennants to promote their future goals and ambitions.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Perry's classroom raised $403

My Project

These college and university pennants will be put on display for ALL of our students, kindergarten through 5th grade, to see as they walk through the halls of our school each and every day. Exposing our students to a wide variety of future schools will help promote and support a future goal and ambition of attending and graduating from college.

By donating to our project, you will help decorate and line our elementary hallways with college pennants.

It is extremely important for even our youngest students to be exposed to colleges and universities, in order to gain a better understanding of the importance of higher education.
