College and Career Engagement

Funded Dec 2, 2024

I would to extend my deepest thank you for funding this project. The students were so excited when they saw all the snacks, the light that was on their faces was absolutely priceless.

I try to make things fun for them every once in a while by playing college/career trivia or jeopardy. Thanks to your wonderful donation, this time when they played jeopardy they would actually win something with the materials (snacks) provided by you all. It was so heartwarming seeing them be so engaged and competitive. At times it's difficult to keep their hopes up due to the overwhelming factor of college applications, stress of personal lives and more so this was such a nice pick-me up for them.

Now that the materials are finished the students sometimes would come to me asking if we can play jeopardy for some prizes. I have given prizes out of pocket but I will try to find other incentives for them just to keep their hopes up through this stressful transition in their lives. Moving forward I am going to offer incentives for students who complete their FAFSA and College applications and use it as a way to encourage other students to complete theirs as well

I would like to extend my deepest thank you! This donation has absolutely brought a positive outlook to the seniors and allowed them to learn about their post secondary plans in a less overwhelming way and lightened some of their burdens”
