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

Every year our Black Student Union club take on leadership roles and the students plan and host Black History Month Celebrations for our entire school!

The banners, table clothes, table centerpieces and other Black History Month supplies that are culturally relevant as we prepare to celebrate the accomplishments of African Americans past and present!

Your support and donations will allow us to continue to honor, uplift, and celebrate our African American students and their families that are historically marginalized. This is just one of the ways that we celebrate the diversity in our community.
