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

As our preschoolers wrap up a year filled with growth, laughter, and learning, I want to send them off with something special — a personal gift bucket filled with love, encouragement, and a few fun surprises to celebrate all they've accomplished.

These small but meaningful gifts will not only bring big smiles, but also help bridge the summer months with joyful, creative learning at home.

For many of our families, extras like this aren't always possible. Your generosity ensures every child feels seen, celebrated, and supported as they take their next step into kindergarten with confidence and joy.
