Amazing Me Projects

Amazing Me Day

Mark your calendars for the

Lake Carolina Upper Campus Amazing Me Day!

We will be celebrating how amazing our students are on

October 13, 2016!

What is Amazing Me Day?

• Students complete a project at home about THEMSELVES!
• The project can be on (almost) ANYTHING...anything that makes the student feel amazing can be presented.
• Some ideas to consider are students’ passions, hobbies, interests, families, cultures, or strengths.  
• The project should be completed in the form of a poster or display board.
• We encourage parents to work with students to create the display, but please allow the student to take ownership.
• Every child will have opportunities to share their display and see the work of other students throughout the school.
• While this project is not graded, the purpose is for students to show pride in their work and display what makes them amazing!
• This is their chance to shine!

• The topics for Amazing Me Day are endless!  Think about what makes your child feel amazing!
• Displays should be no bigger than a 36” x 48” tri-fold board.
