My Project

Our student government students love to make lasting memories for their classmates through out the year with this project they can bring their ideas to life!! They love to take the time to plan events with every student in mind in order for all to have fun and fell welcomed. The lights will be used as decor to bring ideas to life. The marbles, seashells and beads will be used for centerpieces.

Memories, smiles, and laughs are priceless.

Our student government are to learning to event plan early by holding themed events and dances. This project will be used for future events for years to come. Our students are learning to fund raise, event planning, and budgeting funds. This project will help learn of the importance of planning and budgeting for the present and for the future
