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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The transition from middle school to high school marks a significant milestone in a student's educational journey. To honor and celebrate this important achievement, our school plans to provide each 8th-grade student with a special promotion gown for the ceremony. However, we recognize the need for community support to make this a reality for all our students, irrespective of their financial backgrounds.

This is aimed at ensuring every 8th grader can proudly wear their promotion gown as a symbol of their hard work and success.

It's not just about the gowns, it's about marking a pivotal moment in our students' lives with the honor and celebration it deserves. By supporting this initiative, you're helping to create an inclusive, memorable experience for our 8th graders as they prepare for the next chapter of their educational journey.
