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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

At our school, vibrant and engaging school events are crucial in building a solid and supportive community. To achieve this, we are seeking funding to purchase balloons and decor supplies that will enhance the ambiance of our events, making them more attractive and enjoyable for our students and their families.

Creating a welcoming and festive environment encourages higher attendance and active participation from families.

This increased engagement directly impacts our students' academic and social development, as they benefit from their families' support and involvement in their educational journey.

Our primary goal for this project is to elevate the quality of our school events, making them memorable and impactful for everyone involved. We aim to create a sense of excitement and pride in our school community, fostering stronger connections between students, parents, and staff. By doing so, we hope to improve family engagement, a critical factor in students' overall success and well-being.

What makes our students special is their diversity, resilience, and eagerness to learn. Serving the East side of Las Vegas, our school community is rich in culture and experiences. Our students thrive when they feel supported and connected to their school environment. By enhancing our events with balloons and decor, we can celebrate their uniqueness and create an inclusive atmosphere where every family feels valued and welcomed.

In conclusion, this project will beautify our school events and strengthen our community's bonds. With your support, we can create memorable experiences that inspire our students and their families to stay engaged and invested in their education.
