My Project
There are very few opportunities we get as a school to bring students together and engage in pure fun as a community. Students and staff work hard day in and day out, and at our school we like to host an end of year BBQ to celebrate the accomplishments in a carefree day of games, food and fun.
We would like for you to consider donating various games as well as a popcorn and cotton candy machine to make this the best event ever.
Another important thing to note about this project is that we could use these materials year after year as this is an annual event, or we could use these at various events the school hosts.
More than half of students from low‑income households
