My Students

Our school sits in the middle of a unique, rural city and has a very neat mixture of students. We are a Title I school where many of our students qualify for free or reduced-price lunch. Our school also services an Air Force base and is a government relocation site for Marshallese families due to post-war nuclear testing, which creates special challenges and opportunities.

This project will benefit the entire school and our community by providing us with materials and supplies for multiple service projects, events, activities, and trips.

We are very active and engaged at a school, district, community, and state level. Having safe and reliable equipment to make our events more enjoyable, safe, and profitable is a huge help for teachers and sponsors such as myself who spend many hours outside of school encouraging service and community engagement. The items in this request will assist us in many ways and on many levels.

My Project

Our Leadership Class is devoted to helping improve our school's morale and spirit through posters, pictures, and signs which encourage positive themes throughout the year. We also have many artistic options for sharing important information with students and families.

We host Spirit Weeks, assemblies, holiday events, guest speakers and artists, staff appreciation days, student awards and drawings as well as many other activities that require many supplies outside of a regular classroom setting.

We also host concession stands and community events where advertising is needed. These requested items will help us meet that need with style, creativity and organization.
