My Project

Please close your eyes and imagine 20 beautifully diverse 6-year-olds in caps and gowns walking across a stage to accept their first diploma. Can you feel their excitement and the excitement of their families? Can you see the smiles and sometimes tears escaping from some of their eyes as the reality of moving on to the next stage of life sets in? I see this every day as I plan my lessons. I imagine how they will feel and look on Kindergarten graduation day and how that day might help engrave in their minds the importance of future graduations!

You have the incredible opportunity to be a part of my future leaders of America's graduation excitement by helping to collect decorations, photo holders, books, and more.

With your help, all of my students this year will walk across the stage in June with that feeling of accomplishment and excitement for the future, while leaving with a summer bag to get them excited for 1st grade.

I am asking for your help obtaining balloons, small graduation gifts, a graduation photo keepsake holder, a banner, and more. I also included a motivational end-of-the-year book to give out with their paper diplomas. Please help be part of one of the greatest accomplishments my children will have achieved so far in their 6 years of life. Thank you so much for all your help.
