Holiday Inclusion Carnival

Help me give my students a Holiday Inclusion Carnival that will grow their social skills!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Elijah Shepherd's classroom raised $232

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

With the materials from this project, a holiday carnival-style event will be thrown in which our special education students will be taught job skills that occur in a carnival setting. The students will also be encouraged to run carnival-style games and booths, which will create a fun learning environment for everyone involved. When we as a school community come together to have a fun time, we learn so much through hands-on experiences and know you are changing the lives of so many middle school students through your donations. Help our students have a great holiday event!
