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 SPHS student council is planning a Halloween Party since their only real dance in high school is senior prom. In these trying post-pandemic times, they wish to lean into joy. Our only problem: we have no money for decorations or snacks/beverages. If we can fund this project soon, all the materials should come in time and our students will have the party they envision.

Can you please help our student council organize a Halloween Party, and prove that school dances only boost morale and student joy?
