Legacy Projects

Tips for your Legacy Project.

Keep it simple, but be specific. Vague project proposals often don't get accepted.
Focus on something that benefits the entire school, not a specific content or teacher.
Remember it's a collaborative project. Be sure your idea is something that multiple members can work on.
Choose something you have the skills to complete and can finish in the time given (October-March).
Fundraising projects are no longer being considered.
