Help me give my students decorations and supplies to celebrate lunar new year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scala's classroom raised $247

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our school is the best! We seek to create unique opportunities for our students. We also seek to celebrate holidays to develop an appreciation for all cultures. For this year, we would like to celebrate Lunar New year by having a school wide celebration that includes read alouds about Lunar new year as well as learning about origami.

To celebrate we would like the whole school to learn about and make beautiful origami designs.

This will beautify the school as well as the classrooms. Furthermore, students will learn about the Chinese and Japanese cultures. Thank you for all you do!

Mrs. Scala PS 18 Winchester Grades PreK-2
