Shining Stars of 2025

Help me give my students an opportunity to have a Hollywood style celebration for their academic success.

My Project

My students have been working extremely hard to improve their academic grades. I want to celebrate all of their success by having a Hollywood walk of fame style party. They need balloons, table cover and other Hollywood style walk of fame decorations to make this happen. My students are never celebrated for their success. This will be an opportunity to allow them to shine and showoff their academic success. This party will also motivate them to continue working hard. Many of my students have learning disabilities and aren't shown much recognition in our school. This is also their last year in elementary school and I want them to have positive memories of all of their success.
