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 holiday season should be a season of joy and giving. Unfortunately, for many of my students, it is not. While many students get to open gifts on Christmas morning, many others don't.

I want to see every student in my school receive a holiday gift bag filled with hats and gloves to keep them warm and a few fun gifts to keep them busy and make them smile.

Our students are smart, funny, chatty, and unapologetically honest. Some are wise old souls and others, especially those new to our country, are quiet and shy. However, they are ALL resilient.

With this donation, every student in our school will have something to look forward to and something to unwrap together, during our annual Holiday FEASTival, run by the teachers and staff at our school. Please consider donating to this project that will reach all 225 of our students!

Ms. Ruiz Middle School 355 Bronx Alliance Middle School Grades 6-8
