My Project

Going back to school can be an exciting time for many and a stressful time for some! I'd like to welcome all our students back to school with a school carnival that will provide them with a positive experience to associate with the back to school season.

Your support is needed to provide games, decorations, and prizes to through a school carnival for the record books!

Our back to school meet the teacher events have historically had low attendance. But who can resist a carnival! Food, games, and prizes will draw out even the most reluctant learners. This activity will be a great way for students and parent to meet our teachers and staff in an unintimidating atmosphere! Please help me make this our best school year ever!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
