Funded May 6, 2022My students were completely surprised by this gift! The 2 months of planning this entire project was so worth it! The look of satisfaction and awe in their faces was priceless. As they opened their baskets and looked at each individual item their faces become more joyful! They were so happy to take this token of appreciation home as they finalized their very last year in elementary school.
As we all know the transition from grade school to middle school can be hard on many students. This project offered some support in the transitional months as the next school year approaches. One particular item, the water bottle, will be something they can carry with them next school year as a reminder of how loved, appreciated, and how important they are to me.
This gift summed up the important connections we made throughout this school year. It was with your support that I was able to make this project a realization. I look forward to implementing this new tradition of a transitional gift with my future fifth graders!”
With gratitude,
