Spa Spirit Day!

Help me give my students an end of the year spa spirit school day! We've had a pajama day, wacky sock day, twin day, sports day and now our students have asked for a spa day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cindy Alvarado's classroom raised $357

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

We have had every type of spirit day to try to motivate and encourage our students! We've had an 80s day, pajama day, twin day, sports day, and more! But our students have asked for and deserve a spirt spa day! They want to relax in the classroom and enjoy the sounds of nature, drink fresh fruit juice in champagne flutes, enjoy the fragrance of aromatherapy wax melts and essential oils and take a mini break away from the every day rushes and stresses our jam filled learning days and schedules bring!
