My Project

Our school will be hosting a fun and festive End-of-Grade Lawn Party Celebration to honor our students’ hard work and accomplishments throughout the year. We are planning to create a "Candy Salad"—a colorful, sweet treat made from a wide variety of candies, but need assorted candy to make this happen!

The candy salad will be a highlight of the party, as students enjoy a scoop of mixed candy treats to celebrate their efforts and achievements with classmates and teachers.

It’s a simple but memorable way to add joy to the celebration, and was a huge success last year.
