My Project

Popcorn is a great reward for students! We would love to have a popcorn machine for our school to be able to give kids that are exceptionally awesome on a regular basis.

The main purpose for this reward is to help students follow school expectations during lunch time on a weekly basis.

We also have other opportunities through out the school year, for example movie days and field day that popcorn would be an excellent option for students to enjoy.

Please consider donating to our school project to get the kids "popping for popcorn"!
