My Project

At my school we like to have lots of fun while working towards our goals, especially when it comes to focusing on making sure everyone feels that they belong! If you look at where your donation goes it will help share this fun building wide when we celebrate achieving our behavior goals

This project will take the weight of this celebration off of my school financially, allowing us to make sure every student at our school can take part in the experience without worrying about the expense!

I am asking for white t-shirts, so as a building we can have a building wide tie-dye celebration in April. As a school we earn a certain number of tickets regarding student behavior each month to earn a celebration, and one of our students favorites is being able to tie dye their own shirts. Some individual classrooms have done this but we have not achieved doing this celebration as a building, and feel this would be the perfect way to show we all belong together. This project would really focus on making sure everyone feels the togetherness! Each grade would be assigned a different color, and get to dye their t-shirts with their class. The goal would be to do this project in April so we can wear our shirts proudly on field day in May so students can see that they all a part of something so much larger and that they all belong!
