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

Our school is filled with bright, talented students who deserve an environment that reflects their energy and joy. This project will provide colorful bulletin board paper and decorative borders to transform our classrooms and hallways into vibrant, welcoming spaces. These materials will help create a cohesive look across our campus, reinforcing a sense of unity and pride. Each bulletin board will celebrate student achievements, share important messages, and bring beauty to our school community. With your support, we can make our school feel like one big, joyful, and inspiring family every single day.
