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

The event can serve as an educational opportunity to learn about the history and significance of tea ceremonies and the contributions of women in various cultures!

A tea party provides a platform for students to come together, fostering a sense of unity and community within the school.

Organizing a tea party event provides students with the opportunity to develop leadership, organizational, and event-planning skills. The event will showcase inspiring women as role models, empowering students to pursue their goals and aspirations. This beautiful tea party event will create a sense of belonging and community among students, staff, and families. We can’t wait!
