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

My students in NYC are about to complete their state exams, and I couldn't be prouder of their hard work and dedication. These tests can be quite stressful, so I believe it's essential to celebrate their efforts and provide a fun, positive experience to mark the end of this challenging period. This event will give students a well-deserved break and a joyful moment to appreciate their accomplishments.

To show our appreciation and create a memorable celebration, I plan a special treat for our students: popcorn, smores, ice cream, and a lemonade bar!

This will be a wonderful way for them to relax, unwind, and enjoy delicious refreshments and snacks with their classmates.

To make this celebration possible, we need the following supplies: popcorn kernels, graham crackers, chocolate bars, marshmallows, an electrical smores maker machine, syrups for delicious flavor options, lemonade mix to create refreshing drinks, paper plates for popcorn and treats, and storage bags for organizing snacks and to-go treats.

With these supplies, I can create a delightful experience where students can mix and match their favorite flavors, enjoy time with friends, and take pride in their achievements.

Any contribution you can make, big or small, would be greatly appreciated and will help me create a truly special experience for my students. Your generosity will not only provide them with a delicious treat but also demonstrate the community's support for their hard work and academic achievements.
