The materials you helped fund color guard flags, cheerleading pom-poms, spirit megaphones, festive headbands, fun sunglasses, inflatable cheering sticks, and even a Cowardly Lion costume have brought excitement and confidence to our students in ways that go far beyond the classroom.\r\n\r\nThese items have already made a meaningful impact. The emerald green color-guard flags have allowed our students to practice coordinated routines that build teamwork and rhythm. The cheerleading pom-poms and spirit megaphones have given even our quietest students the courage to stand tall, use their voices, and cheer for one another. The headbands, heart-shaped sunglasses, and inflatable cheering sticks have turned school events and spirit days into joyful celebrations where every child feels included and proud.\r\n\r\nOne of the biggest highlights has been the Cowardly Lion costume, which has been used during student performances. Our students absolutely light up when it comes out! Together, these items have strengthened our sense of community, school pride, and student connection. They have encouraged our students to support one another, to express themselves freely, and to take pride in being part of something bigger than themselves.\r\n\r\nThank you for believing in our students and helping create moments of joy, belonging, and celebration in our school.
