My Project

Our students have shown determination, resilience, and growth all year long—and they deserve to be celebrated! We want to end the school year with a special party that honors their hard work and brings joy to their classroom experience.

This celebration will give our students a chance to relax, bond, and create lasting memories together before heading off to summer break.

Your donation will help us provide party essentials like decorations, treats, drinks, music, and fun games.

This isn't just about fun (though they will be plenty of that)—it's a way to recognize their efforts and close the year with positivity, pride, and a big smile.
