Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

Please help me fulfill my students' dreams of becoming professional dancers.

By gifting my students ballet shoes, you'll be helping them to perfect their turns and jumps with the actual footwear.

Right now, they're learning their dance moves using only socks and sneakers. They're so enthusiastic, and it would be much more effective for them if they had actual ballet shoes to work with.

This June, they'll be participating in their first Dance Recital. They are working hard and can't wait for the day to come. Help them look the part!

Thank you!
