My Project

This school year for the 5th grade dance the theme is Mardi Gras. Please assist myself and the other 5th grade teachers to kick start the decoration collection. This is a special time for our students because they are leaving elementary school and entering middle school where it will be a different environment for them.

We would love to send them out in style by celebrating their accomplishment from this school year.

We need balloons, backdrops, cups and king and queen crowns. The feathers will be used on the mask that the students will decorate.

I would like this dance to be something they remember for years to come. It is all about the memories they will make. These carefully selected items will create an immersive atmosphere where every student feels celebrated and inspired. By blending creativity with tradition, our prom will be a dynamic event that fosters self-expression, community, and lasting memories.
