School Spirit for All

Help me give my students a school community where everyone is represented and celebrated!

My Project

At my school students, staff and their families always greet each with a smile and a warm welcome. To continue to build on and grow this school culture the banners will provide a bright welcoming atmosphere. Each month students are celebrated for their achievements in and out of the classroom. To excite them and continue to encourage their success, these items will be used to make it an experience students will remember for years to come.

As a student, I used to love assemblies and school celebrations, I want my students to experience these fun memories the same way!

At the end of the year students families are invited to come and celebrate all of the progress their children has made throughout the year. This celebration is held in the field of our school and the balloon arch would be a great way to welcome the entire school community.

The additional supplies will be used to thank teachers for everything they do for their students without hesitation. When teachers feel appreciated they will reflect positively in all aspects of the school community.

Thank you so much for considering donating to my project!

My students and I appreciate it more than you know!
