My Project

Each year the school community participates in an end-of-the-year school carnival. The students, staff, and teachers look forward to this event each year.

We are looking to provide a more festive environment for our community.

This event celebrates academic performance, school attendance, positive behavior, and another successful school year. We are hoping to use these decorations over the next several years and have included a clown costume so teachers can interact with students outside of their role as teachers. Our students may not have as many opportunities to interact with staff in such a way.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
