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

As we approach the end of an incredible school year, I’d like to invite you to help us celebrate a very special group of students — the Kimchi Kids Choir.

This dedicated group of 2nd to 5th grade students has spent the year learning Korean songs, practicing cultural traditions, and building confidence through performance.

Their enthusiasm, creativity, and teamwork have made our classroom and community shine.

To honor their growth and commitment, I’m organizing a small project to provide end-of-year gifts to each choir member. These gifts — such as Korean children’s books, music-themed goodies, or small cultural keepsakes — will recognize their hard work and encourage them to stay connected to the Korean language and culture over the summer.

With your support, we can:

Celebrate student participation and progress

Provide meaningful items that reflect what they’ve learned

Motivate them to continue exploring their creativity and voice

Whether you can help sponsor one gift or a few, your generosity will make a lasting impression on our young performers. Every contribution goes directly to the students and helps us say, “We see you. We’re proud of you.”

If you’d like to donate or learn more about how you can help, I’d love to hear from you. Thank you for considering this opportunity to support the joy, culture, and creativity that the Kimchi Kids Choir brings to our school.
