My Project

In May, our eighth graders will graduate from middle school and head to high school. Advancing to high school is an important transition for middle schoolers filled with various emotions, uncertainties, and anticipation.

The counseling department is proud of our eighth grader's accomplishments and would like to show our aloha by gifting each of our graduates with a pencil case with a few accessories.

The students need these items for high school. Something as simple as writing utensils can help prepare students for success. Moreover, we hope this gift will communicate to our students how much the counseling department believes in their success and add a bit of motivation and excitement to their looking forward to high school. Thank you for considering this project for our soon-to-be freshman.

Grades 6-8
