My Project

We are excited to share an initiative close to our hearts that will have a positive impact on our school and the learning experience of our students. The fifth grade Student Council is embarking on an exciting journey to start a school store, and we are reaching out to request your generous support.

The purpose of our school store is two-fold: to provide students with a hands-on learning experience in financial literacy and customer service, and to raise funds for a school service project.

Our students will take on the responsibility of running the store every two weeks on Fridays, learning valuable skills in managing money, serving customers, and teamwork. We believe that instilling financial literacy at a young age is crucial, and this project offers a practical, real-world way to do so.

The funds generated from the school store will be dedicated to transforming our school's courtyard into an amazing outdoor classroom. This area will be adorned with flower beds, plants, flowers, and mulch, creating a serene and educational environment for our students. We would be truly grateful for your support in making this project a reality. Your donation, no matter the amount, will contribute to both the development of our students and the beautification of our school. We look forward to your positive response and the opportunity to work together in creating a more vibrant learning space for our students.

Thank you for considering our request and for your continued support of our school and its community service projects.
