My Project

My students have worked incredibly hard all year, growing academically, socially, and emotionally. To celebrate their success on the last day of school, I want to create a fun and memorable experience: a kid-friendly, make-your-own boba drink station paired with a festive photo booth. This project will provide sugar and caffeine free flavored drink packets, popping boba, cups, straws, stickers for decorating, and a colorful “Last Day of School” backdrop where students can capture special memories with their classmates.

This celebration goes beyond fun, it encourages creativity, independence, and social interaction.

Students will follow simple steps to create their own drinks, make choices, and express themselves by decorating their cups. The photo booth adds another layer of excitement, giving students a chance to celebrate their accomplishments together, practice social skills, and build a sense of classroom community through shared experiences.

End-of-year celebrations play an important role in social-emotional development. Recognizing students’ hard work helps build confidence, strengthens relationships, and fosters a positive connection to school. With your support, my students will end the year feeling proud of their accomplishments and excited about the memories they’ve made together.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
