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

On behalf of our school's Gay-Straight Alliance (GSA), a student-led club dedicated to creating a safe, inclusive, and supportive environment for LGBTQ+ students and allies, we’re seeking donations to help provide Pride gear (such as flags, stickers, and bracelets) and snacks for our meetings and activities.

These items not only foster visibility and unity but also create a welcoming space where students can connect and express themselves freely.

Expressing their pride and being part of a fun and expressive club can be so impactful in helping someone feel valued and understood, as well as understanding themselves and the way they can positively be a part of life. Thank you for all you do to help all students understand they have value and are loved!

Your support will directly impact our ability to host meaningful events and ensure all students feel valued and included. Any amount helps, and we truly appreciate your generosity.
