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 amazing fourth graders have worked so hard all year, and I want to give them a sweet and joyful celebration to recognize their accomplishments. We're asking for donations of fun snacks, like juice boxes, chips, cookies, and candy to help us celebrate the end of the school year in a memorable way.

These treats will help create a festive atmosphere where students can relax, have fun, and enjoy the success they've earned through their dedication, teamwork, and perseverance.

Every snack will bring a smile and make our celebration extra special!
