My Project

Our students are a vibrant and diverse group, full of potential and creativity. Many face challenges that can hinder their ability to engage fully in their education. To address these obstacles, we are launching an attendance initiative that not only encourages students to come to school but also promotes their mental health and overall well-being.

Our students are resilient, passionate, and committed to making a difference in their community.

They are involved in various extracurricular activities, from sports to arts, showcasing their diverse talents and interests. However, many struggle with issues such as anxiety, family responsibilities, and social pressures, which can impact their attendance and engagement. By focusing on attendance and providing incentives we aim to empower them to reach their full potential and increase their engagement in school.

Project Goals:

1. Increase Attendance Rates: Encourage regular school attendance through meaningful incentives.

2. Enhance Mental Health Awareness: Provide resources and support for students’ mental health.

3. Build Community Spirit: Foster a sense of belonging and connection within the school.

Attendance Incentive Items: To make our attendance initiative effective, we plan to provide the following items as incentives: Gift cards, wellness items (e.g., fidgets, journals, etc.), snacks, games, and other items to promote wellness. By funding this project, you will help create an engaging and supportive environment that encourages our students to attend school regularly. Your contributions will directly impact their mental health and sense of belonging, fostering a community where every student feels valued and motivated. Thank you for considering our project! Together, we can empower our students to thrive academically and personally.
