My Project

Using decorations for Decision Day can make a significant difference for students by creating an atmosphere of celebration and empowerment. The banners, fog created by fog machines, balloons, and personalized signs serve as visual cues of their achievements and future aspirations. By taking ownership of their environment and actively participating in the decoration process, students demonstrate agency and independence in choosing their paths. This highlights their uniqueness and resilience, emphasizing that they are not letting their surroundings dictate their futures. Instead, they are actively shaping their destinies and celebrating their individual journeys to higher education.

Decision Day is a national campaign intended to celebrate the hard work and future plans of ALL high school seniors.
