My Project

We are teaching our students how to budget and run a small operation. It is financial literacy in the making! This project includes items for the creation of Halloween goodie bags that our students will use to deliver to various classrooms and spread joy and kindness throughout our campus. Because we do not have our own funds, we often hand-make them. Your donation will help us not have to worry about that monetary part and focus on the joyful aspect.

Students will receive pencils they can use in class to complete work, glow-in-the-dark bouncy balls that will keep them entertained and laughing, as well as a special treat and note inside.

Your donation will carry on the tradition of our students budgeting for and running the event, which will support our 8th-grade class in learning about financial literacy.
