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

Good evening, everyone. We are celebrating our 9th annual decision day. To celebrate and support our students as they commit to pursuing higher education, we are creating personalized college gift baskets. These baskets will provide essential items to help students transition smoothly into college life, offering both practical and personal support as they embark on this exciting new chapter. The goal of this project is to provide students with the tools they need to succeed in their new environments, reducing the stress of transitioning to college life and boosting their confidence as they start this new chapter.

By receiving these thoughtful gift baskets, students will feel supported and motivated to thrive in their higher education journey.

These items will help ensure they have what they need for both academic success and personal well-being.

Thank you for helping us celebrate our students' decision to continue their education and enter this exciting phase of life! Your donations will make a significant impact on their future.
