My Project

We love our students here and hate to see them leave each summer but always try our best to make sure they're prepared to keep reading on those long hot summer days!! The city requires all students to partake in summer reading, and our school each year has hosted a Summer Reading Kickoff to get them started!!

This year we want to send them off in the Summer Reading Spirit!

We have done a great job all year getting donated new books for all 600 students, but we just need a little more support to pull this off! The folders in the project will help keep all the materials together that they'll need for their projects. Then the leis are to add just a little fun to the summer-themed event! If this project is funded, the kids won't forget it! We hope to have the best Summer Reading Kickoff yet!!
