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

Hello! This year we are excited to have an amazing Black History Month celebration for the students and families in our campus and would be beyond grateful and filled with joy if we can bring our vision to life for our students and their families at the end of February.

The items requested such as decorations, props, books, banners and the cloth will help compliment our showcase this year.

We plan to use the cloth for a dance routine for our student performers. The decorations will help us set up a beautiful events for our communities families and make it feel like the BIG CELEBRATION it is. Our event will take place the last week of February and hope to get some of the items before the date. Thank you for taking the time to read about our campaign.
