Igniting Isibindi Spirit: Building Unity Through House Pride!

Help me give my students spirit items that will make them feel proud, energized, and united.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Orozco's classroom raised $239

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

Our students are fierce, courageous, and full of heart, just like the House they belong to: Isibindi! As part of the Ron Clark Academy House System, we use the House structure to build school spirit, encourage positive behavior, and foster a deep sense of belonging and community.

To celebrate and motivate our students in Isibindi, I’m seeking support to purchase spirit items that will make them feel proud, energized, and united.

These items, in our green house color, will help us to help us cheer each other on during competitions, assemblies, and school-wide events. Your contributions will enhance these gatherings with vibrant decorations, mascot costumes, and House Flags that will truly elevate the experience for everyone involved.

These items will not only boost morale but also deepen students' connection to their peers and their commitment to living out our house values, which are courage, strength, and heart. Many of our families do not have funds for "extras". Having a few items for students that symbolize their house pride can go a long way in building identity, encouraging teamwork, and making school a place they’re excited to be every day.

With your help, we can make the Isibindi House more than just a name; it can be a movement that reminds every student that they belong, they matter, and they are part of something greater than themselves.
