Impact to My Classroom

# of Students Impacted: 600

Students were granted the opportunity to participate in this project and were able to make a FOREVER impact on their school/community. (Some studens chose to take rocks home!)

The benefits of this outcome included however were not limited to:
• engaging in a school-community building project
• an increased sense of belonging
• a continued pledge to spread love and kindness
• an opportunity for students to leave their “mark” in a positive form
• involvement in campus/home beatification
• a reminder that students are the most important part of our school family and that each student plays a role in creating a positive school culture

To add, students LOVED the opportunity to sit and paint their own rock. Each student started with a piece of paper that allowed themselves to plan out their design and then with the stroke of each brush, their plan became a work of art and their work of art a MASTERPIECE!

Thank you for granting this opportunity to the students of Sabal Palm Elementary School!

*Please note that this project is ongoing.
