A Sweet Reward for Students!

Help me give my students the resources needed to provide an engaging festival celebration experience!

FULLY FUNDED! Coach Lucas's classroom raised $403

My Project

As the PE Coach I work with every female student in each grade. As we approach Spring I would like to create an engaging and interactive experience for students. I will be facilitating a Spring Festival for students that will consist of a variety of activities to get them physical and active! But I would also like to offer them some sweet rewards such as cotton candy! This cotton candy machine will be used to provide cotton candy to students at no cost during the festival. They will be able to earn tickets based on class performance and positive behavior to get a treat such as cotton candy. The cones and bags will be use to provide the sweet treat to students. And the cotton candy sugar will be used to create the cotton candy.
