My Project

This year at my school the kindergarten team (teachers and students) are going to be starting a "Sunshine Committee". This committee, similar to a social committee, will help us create a positive school culture and show support when staff needs it most.

Part of being happy at school each day is creating a positive environment for not only students but also the staff.

Typically in Kindergarten our students don't interact much with the older students or any other teachers. This year, we want to change that by showing our students how we can support each other and show love. Part of our initiative will be to pass out random treats monthly, give cards for birthdays/family losses/thank you, and randomly provide snacks from our popcorn and snow-cone machine.

We appreciate your support in getting this initiative off the ground! Our goal is to get it going and keep it going for years to come.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
