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

At our school there was a lot of excitement for the new cosmetology club that was set to run after school. Many of our girl students were so excited to learn cosmetology skills such as hairdos, make-up and nails.

Unfortunately, after a break in and a fire over the weekend in the cosmetology room, all the materials were lost.

Through this project I am kindly asking for donations to make this club a possibility for the students that stay for after school clubs and programs.

Some of the items I included in the project are UV lamps, mannequin heads, Poly gel and some gel polish.

I feel it is important for students to learn skills that can potentially help them in life as trade. Thanks in advance for your support in making this cosmetology club a possibility.
