Your support has provided our students with wonderful fundraising opportunities that have already made a significant impact.\r\n\r\nWe were able to use the machine at five homecoming games this season, and each event brought in several hundred dollars to support our ASB class and upcoming student activities. This has been an incredible boost for our program, helping us fund events that directly benefit our students and school community.\r\n\r\nThe students also enjoy making the cotton candy themselves. They are learning valuable real-world skills, such as calculating the cost of expenses and determining profits—skills that go far beyond the classroom. This machine has truly become a great asset for our team.\r\n\r\nWe are excited to continue using it throughout the year and are grateful for the opportunities it has created.
