My Project
Middle school is a time of non-stop energy, big dreams, and growing minds—and what better way to fuel that excitement than with a Ninja Slushie Maker? Having a slushie machine at school isn’t just about tasty drinks; it’s about creating a fun, refreshing, and inclusive experience that brings students together.
Here’s why it’s important:
Boosts Energy & Focus – A cold, refreshing slushie can help students cool down and recharge, keeping them energized for learning and after-school activities.
Encourages Social Interaction – Sharing slushies can create a fun and welcoming atmosphere, helping students bond and make new friends.
A Healthier Alternative – With the right ingredients, slushies can be a better option than sugary sodas, giving students a cool treat without excessive caffeine.
School Spirit & Engagement – A Ninja Slushie Maker can be part of fundraisers, reward programs, and special events, making school more exciting and memorable.
By donating to bring a Ninja Slushie Machine to middle schoolers, you're investing in refreshment, fun, and a cool way to support student life. Let’s make school an even cooler place—one slushie at a time!
