Improve Mental Health With a Splash of Paint!
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Borstel's classroom raised $968
This project is fully funded
My Project
I am the advisor to an amazing group of High School Juniors and Seniors in the Peninsula Chapter of National Honor Society. They are motivated, hard working and conscientious students! Everyone knows a new coat of paint can do wonders for a room, and a colorful and welcoming bathroom will help improve school spirit and improve mental wellness of both students and staff.
To help improve the mental health of our students, we want to take our bathrooms from beige and dreary to colorful and cheery!
NHS will spend over 350 hours on their yearly community service project, and your generous donation will allow them to paint the walls in our school bathrooms to add more pizzazz to our campus.
