My Project

Throughout the school year, my students and I celebrate special occasions that bring joy, gratitude, and creativity into our classroom. From Christmas to Boys’ and Girls’ Day, Mother’s Day, and Father’s Day, these moments provide opportunities for students to express appreciation for their loved ones while developing hands-on skills in design, crafting, and giving.

To make these celebrations meaningful, we need supplies that allow students to create personalized gifts for their families.

Sublimation hats and water bottles will let students design and print custom gifts, while oven mitts and pot holders will allow them to create heartfelt kitchen items for their parents. Potting soil will support our Mother’s and Father’s Day projects, where students will plant herbs or flowers to give as gifts. Lastly, Otter Pops will help us add a refreshing treat to our festivities, ensuring that every special day feels like a true celebration.

With your support, my students will experience the joy of creating and giving, fostering a spirit of generosity and creativity throughout the year.
