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

This year I want to highlight Black History for my school and especially for children that are Black. I am trying to educate, remind and uplift our school community and their families.

I'm looking to highlight Black excellence for Black students and empower them to succed!

I want to showcase the culture and people so that our students understand the "why" of our individual journeys, and give them reasons to push themselves and be proud.

By donating to this project you will be giving us the boost we need.

Help me keep the light on for these students.
