My Project

We are requesting a commercial-grade popcorn machine to use as a fundraising tool at school events, games, and community gatherings. Popcorn is an affordable and popular snack that can be sold to raise money for essential student activities. By having a popcorn machine readily available, we can increase our fundraising efforts and create a sustainable source of income for student programs.

Additionally, students will gain valuable entrepreneurial experience by managing sales, handling money, and learning about customer service.

This hands-on learning opportunity will teach important life skills while directly benefiting their education.

Our students are bright, enthusiastic, and always looking for ways to improve their school community. They take pride in their school and actively participate in events that help raise funds for enrichment programs, field trips, and classroom supplies. Despite financial limitations, they never let challenges stand in their way, demonstrating creativity and teamwork to support their school.
