Ice Scream Gets Attention

Help me give my students ice cream party supplies to help entice them to attend events as school wraps up/ this summer

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Driesbach's classroom raised $161

This project is fully funded

My Project

It's a busy time of year and while our students are wrapping up the school year more guests (particularly recent alumni) are able and interested in coming by our College and Career Center to share knowledge.

Having supplies for students to enjoy ice cream will help entice them to come in and get the scoop.

With upcoming presentations on studying abroad, designing a portfolio (if you want to major in a visual art), and essay writing, it'd be helpful to be able to get students' attention by promising them a sweet treat.
