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 would absolutely love your help in having a Slushy Machine for all of our events. Throughout the year, we have monthly Family Nights, Carnivals, Fairs, Luaus, Beach Themed Game Days, Movie Nights, Performances, Community Events and so much more. Having a real Slushy Machine at our events would make it so much more like real-life fairs. I would even love my students to look forward to having a weekly Fun Friday Slushy Day each week. There is nothing more I want than to have my students look forward to coming to school each and every day!

We want to bring our school and community together.

Having a slushy machine will be a huge part in bringing everyone together in the most fun of ways.

I would love for my students to think of school as synonymous with fun and for our community to support them.

We couldn't do any of this without your support. We can't thank you enough for thinking of our students and bringing the most joy to all we do!
