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

I hope this message finds everyone well. I am so excited to share that our school is preparing for an upcoming production of "Shrek: The Musical." This performance is a wonderful opportunity for our students to showcase their talents and hard work to the entire school community.

To make this event truly special, we are seeking your generous support to help us purchase costumes for our young performers.

These costumes are not just attire; they are a source of pride and confidence for our students as they step into their roles and bring the story of Shrek to life on stage.

Your contribution will directly impact our students by:

- Enhancing their performance experience with professional-quality costumes.

- Boosting their self-esteem and confidence as they perform in front of their peers, teachers, and families.

- Creating lasting memories of their participation in this beloved musical.

We believe that every student deserves the chance to shine, and with your help, we can ensure that our production of "Shrek: The Musical" is a resounding success. Any amount you can contribute will be greatly appreciated and will go a long way in supporting our students.

Thank you for considering our request. Together, we can make this a memorable and enriching experience for our students.

Thank You so much for considering this project.
