This project allowed us to create a truly unforgettable celebration for my students, giving them the memorable send-off they so deserved before heading to middle school. We had a blast with our Bubble Gum Day, enjoyed a relaxing Movie Day, glowed it up at our Glow in the Dark Party, and even had a fun Fidget Day! Seeing them express their creativity during Painting on Canvases, enjoy the fresh air on Picnic Day, personalize their own Decorating T-shirts, and splash around during Water Day was absolutely priceless. Each activity was designed to let them simply be kids, creating those last, carefree childhood memories before the \"cool\" phase of middle school kicks in.\r\n\r\nAs a fellow book lover, I know you'll appreciate the impact of our special gift! One of the absolute highlights was presenting each student with their very own copy of Dr. Seuss's \"Oh, the Places You'll Go!\". This book is a fantastic tool for introducing critical life skills like resilience, optimism, and the courage to face the unknown. It sparks conversations about setting goals, embracing challenges, and understanding that their future is full of endless possibilities. In our classroom, reading is a vibrant, active experience. It's not just about decoding words; it's about making connections, asking questions, sharing insights, and exploring new perspectives. We often read aloud, discuss themes, and even act out parts of stories. With \"Oh, the Places You'll Go!\", we talked about their hopes and dreams for middle school and beyond, empowering them to see themselves as capable adventurers.\r\n\r\nGiving them this book as they walked up to receive their promotion certificates was truly a moment of pure joy. Watching their eyes light up as they held their personalized copies, knowing that their teachers believe wholeheartedly in their potential, was incredibly moving. It wasn't just a book; it was a tangible message that they are supported, encouraged, and wished the very best as they embark on their new journey to a new campus. Every single student, even those who sometimes shy away from reading, seemed to cherish this gift. It felt like a warm, collective hug, reminding them that they are leaving our campus armed with not just knowledge, but with our unwavering belief in their bright futures. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart, for making these precious moments possible for my amazing students.","fullyFundedDate":1746786419417,"projectUrl":"project/end-the-year-with-a-bang/9272986/","projectTitle":"End the Year With a Bang!","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Dominguez","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8931133_orig.jpg?width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1698272058913","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8931133"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_108147","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":150,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":63,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":16,"percentWhite":1,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":79,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"K - 1","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_LARGE"},"inStateSupporters":63.6,"schoolId":108147,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Vista College Preparatory-Hadley on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Vista College Preparatory-Hadley","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/arizona/arizona-department-of-education/vista-college-prep-school/108147"}
