My Project

We are seeking funding to create a "Friendship Rocks" initiative at our school. This project aims to foster community spirit and inclusivity by encouraging students to paint and decorate rocks that will be placed around the school grounds.

We request support for purchasing smooth rocks and acrylic paint.

Through this creative activity, students will express themselves artistically while promoting friendship and kindness. The finished rocks will serve as a lasting reminder of our commitment to a positive school environment.

In addition to enhancing creativity, this project will also promote teamwork as students collaborate on designs and share their ideas.
