Poppin' Fun and Snappin' Memories: Engaging Students Together!

Help me give my students the opportunity to create lasting memories and build a stronger sense of community with a popcorn machine and photo booth.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pascarella's classroom raised $1,339

My Project

Help us give the students at my school the opportunity to create lasting memories and build a stronger sense of community with a popcorn machine and photo booth. These fun additions will make school events more engaging and enjoyable, encouraging students to participate and socialize. The popcorn machine will draw students in with its delicious aroma, while the photo booth will provide a creative space for capturing moments and expressing school pride. Together, these tools will foster a sense of belonging and excitement, making our school a more vibrant and inclusive place.
