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

This Valentine’s Day, I want to make sure that each of my students feels special and loved. Many of my students come from diverse backgrounds, and for some, receiving a simple Valentine’s Day card is a rare experience. By supporting this project, you'll help me provide each student with arts and crafts materials to create Valentine's Day cards. I want to give my students a joyful day creating and coloring Valentines for each other and their families. These small tokens of kindness can go a long way in boosting their confidence, building a positive classroom culture, and fostering a sense of belonging.

Your generous donation will allow me to purchase heartwarming treats, and art supplies to make this Valentine's Day unforgettable for my students.

With your help, we can show them that kindness and compassion extend beyond the classroom and that they are valued members of our school community. Together, we can make this holiday a meaningful experience for every child, inspiring them to spread love and positivity with a Valentine. Thank you for helping us create a memorable and heartwarming celebration!
