Help Our School Have A Day of Honoring Our Earth

Help me give my students supplies to have an activity filled day celebrating our earth.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Meehan's classroom raised $734

This project is fully funded

My Project

We would love to have an all school celebration of our earth. Some grade levels will decorate the paper pots and then add soil and seeds. They will go home with their very own plant. The chalk is for making sidewalk art celebrating our earth as we clean outside around the school. The paper and dowels are for the upper grades to make and then fly their own kites. The drop cloths and markers are for creating large pieces of art that honor our earth that we can keep up in our school.

Our goal is to celebrate the earth as a whole school by having this event.

Please help us reach our goal.

Ms. Meehan Leslie Lewis Elementary School Grades 3-5
