My Project

The items I’m requesting will make a significant difference in my students’ learning by offering them a fun, rewarding break that acknowledges their hard work and commitment throughout the year.

By providing snowcones as a way to celebrate their achievements, I am reinforcing the value of their effort, while also motivating them to continue striving for success.

This small treat serves as both a reward and a reminder of their progress, reinforcing a sense of accomplishment. It’s a way to show them that their dedication does not go unnoticed, and that they are deserving of both recognition and rest. The goal of this project is simple: to create a fun, positive experience that helps students relax and recharge, while also boosting their enthusiasm for continued learning. By offering a moment of enjoyment, I hope to cultivate a mindset that associates academic achievement with both hard work and enjoyment.

My students are incredibly special because, despite the challenges they face—being at-risk and coming from an economically deprived community—they are excelling academically like never before. As part of the district’s new educational system, they have been exposed to more rigorous content than ever, and the data shows their progress. This year, we’ve seen academic strides that have not been witnessed in decades. The snowcone celebration is a small but meaningful gesture to honor their resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity, and to show them that their success matters.
