About this Campaign

Having a cougar costume at our elementary school can be a powerful tool to boost morale, foster a strong sense of community, and enhance both student and staff well-being. As a school mascot, it creates a fun and inclusive environment where everyone—students and staff alike—feel connected and excited to be part of the school.

Kahoa Elementary is located in northeast Lincoln and serves approximately 450 students. This campaign would provide a mascot for our school. The costume can be used to celebrate achievements, surprise students with positive reinforcement, and motivate them to reach their MTSS goals. Whether it’s rewarding good behavior or showing school pride at special events, the cougar costume can make learning more engaging, encourage collaboration, and build a supportive, positive school culture that benefits everyone.    

Picture this: a lively cougar costume roaming the halls of our elementary school, igniting a spark of joy and camaraderie that resonates in every heart! This vibrant presence can become a beacon of hope, a source of inspiration that elevates the spirits of our students and staff alike. It’s not just a costume; it’s a powerful symbol of unity that brings us all together in celebration of our shared journey.

In its playful embrace, we find a world where achievements are celebrated with thunderous applause, where every child is seen, valued, and uplifted. Imagine the thrill of surprise as the cougar visits classrooms, showering students with praise and encouragement, igniting the fire within them to conquer their MTSS goals and reach for the stars.

At special events, this lively mascot can lead the charge, a dazzling emblem of school pride that turns ordinary moments into unforgettable memories. With each smile, each cheer, it fosters collaboration and togetherness, weaving a tapestry of support and positivity that envelops the entire school community.

This cougar costume holds the potential to transform our school into a vibrant haven of learning, where the joy of education flourishes, and the bonds between us strengthen. Let’s embrace this opportunity to cultivate an atmosphere where everyone feels empowered, valued, and excited to be part of this incredible journey together!

We are requesting $300.00 plus cost reimbursement to purchase a Kirby Cougar mascot costume for our building to boost student and staff morale while creating a sense of community.
