My Project
Our kindergarten graduation will be held on June 12, and we are preparing a special celebration for our students with the theme “Racial Justice & Representation.” This theme reflects our commitment to honoring the diverse backgrounds of our students and making sure every child feels seen, valued, and proud of who they are.
We are seeking donations of balloons and a red carpet runner to help create a joyful, empowering environment.
These items may seem simple, but they make a big difference.
Walking the red carpet and seeing a space decorated just for them builds confidence, boosts self-esteem, and reminds students that their identity and hard work are worth celebrating.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
