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 amazing students deserve a memorable Prom night, but our budget is currently zero to keep ticket costs down for everyone. We're reaching out to our generous community for help!

This DonorsChoose project aims to gather essential supplies for crafting stunning centerpieces that will transform our venue.

The students will be channeling their creativity to transform the donated supplies into beautiful centerpieces for the prom tables.

Imagine them carefully arranging the greenery in to planters to create a Grecian garden. They'll be assembling shimmering candle holders or crafting unique, themed decorations with the posters that reflect their personality and the spirit of the event. These hands-on projects will not only beautify the venue but also provide a wonderful opportunity for teamwork and artistic expression, making the Prom even more special and student-driven.

Your contribution, big or small, will directly enable us to create a magical atmosphere these kids will cherish. Let's work together to give them the beautiful celebration they've earned! Every donation makes a difference.
