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

We love our students' boundless curiosity and their dedication to learning. To nurture their potential, we're seeking your support for an exciting project. An awning will transform our outdoor space into a comfortable learning environment. Culinary posters will ignite their passion for cooking. Pencils, chairs, lights, and pens are essential for a well-equipped classroom.

Each resource has a unique role: the awning will enable outdoor classes, culinary posters will inspire future chefs, and the supplies will create a comfortable, well-lit space for learning.

Our goal is to provide an enriching and motivating environment for our exceptional students.

Our students are special because of their thirst for knowledge, creativity, and resilience. Your contribution will empower them to thrive and excel. Thank you for supporting their education.
