Shining Bright: a Glowing Celebration to End the Year!
Help me give my students a fun and educational year-end celebration to remember!
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cottom's classroom raised $275
This project is fully funded
My Project
My classroom is filled with amazing 3-, 4-, and 5-year-olds from low-income, high-poverty neighborhoods. As we wrap up our year together, I want to give them a Glow Party and Last Day Celebration—a special experience they might not otherwise have.
We’ll dance, explore how glow sticks work, and learn that movement is good for our bodies!
Plus, students will take home summer learning materials to keep their growth going. Healthy snacks like veggie straws will keep little hands and minds fueled for fun!
With your support, we can give these young learners a memorable send-off, filled with light, laughter, and learning!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
