My Project

Every year, one of the teachers at my school, Ms. G, hosts a wonderful Hispanic Heritage Day Celebration. Students learning about Hispanic culture, hear mariachi bands, learn salsa dancing, and make guacamole.

The students love making the guacamole and immersing themselves in Hispanic heritage.

Please consider donating so that we have enough supplies to make sure each student can make their own guacamole.

The last donation we received lasted for two years! We are very fortunate that so many people are willing to support our community. We hope with this project we will be able to continue our tradition and have a wonderful Hispanic heritage celebration!
