My Project

This year we are embracing the theme of being game changers—striving to make this year legendary for every student and teacher. As Lead Teacher, I see firsthand the resilience, creativity, and determination that make our students truly special. Despite facing challenges, our students show up every day ready to learn, support one another, and reach for their dreams. They deserve to be celebrated in a way that matches their spirit and effort.

To help make this year unforgettable, I am seeking your support to bring a Legendary Prize Drop to our school.

This interactive prize board will be used to recognize students and teachers for academic achievements, positive behavior, growth, and acts of kindness. Each time someone earns a chance at the Prize Drop, they’ll experience the excitement of watching their token bounce down to reveal a surprise prize.

But this project is about more than just fun—it’s about making a real difference in student learning. When students know their hard work and positive choices are noticed, they are more motivated to engage, participate, and persevere. The Prize Drop will help foster a growth mindset, encouraging students to keep trying even when things get tough. It will also create a positive classroom environment where learning and kindness are celebrated, helping students build confidence and a sense of belonging.

Your generous donation will allow us to purchase a durable, eye-catching Prize Drop board and a variety of exciting prizes that will keep our school community energized all year long. Every prize will serve as a reminder that effort pays off and that our students are valued.
