My Project

Sweet Treats & Friendship: Supporting Mackinac Island Adventures" is a heartwarming project aimed at empowering young minds while contributing to a noble cause. With the generous assistance of donors like you, we are igniting a spark of entrepreneurship and community spirit in our 3rd-grade students.

The essence of this endeavor lies in the simple joys of childhood—cotton candy floss, colorful bags, and friendship bracelets.

These seemingly mundane items hold the potential to transform into tools of empowerment and philanthropy. Through their sale, our students are not just raising funds; they are embarking on a journey of discovery, learning, and growth.

The cotton candy floss, with its whimsical allure and sugary delight, symbolizes the sweetness of giving back to others. It serves as a reminder that even the smallest gestures can make a significant impact. The bags, practical yet versatile, represent the opportunities that await our students as they venture into the world of entrepreneurship. And the friendship bracelets, woven with care and adorned with heartfelt messages, embody the spirit of camaraderie and unity that binds our school community together.

In supporting "Sweet Treats & Friendship," you are not just donating goods; you are investing in the future leaders, innovators, and changemakers of tomorrow. Your contribution is not measured merely in dollars and cents but in the smiles, laughter, and memories created by our students as they embark on this meaningful journey together. Thank you for being a part of their story, and for helping to turn their dreams of exploring Mackinac Island into a reality.
