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 love to celebrate our students’ important transition from pre-kindergarten to kindergarten with a meaningful graduation ceremony. This milestone marks their hard work, growth, and readiness for the next step in their learning journey.

Our goal is to provide each student with their own cap and gown, a personalized diploma, and a graduation banner to create a special space where they can capture this memorable day in photos.

For many of our students, this may be their very first graduation, and we want it to be a moment they—and their families—will always remember.

With your support, we can make this celebration joyful, memorable, and filled with pride for our young learners as they take their next big step forward.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
