Caps and Gowns for Little Scholars

Please help me give my students caps and gowns for the best end-of-year ceremony they deserve! These tiny people have worked so hard and grown so much. They deserve the first-ever kindergarten graduation.

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

The kindergarten teachers are so proud of the hard work our students have put forth this year and want, more than anything, for them to share that pride and take pride in their work. Our school has never had a kindergarten graduation before, and we want to start a tradition of celebrating success. We will keep the gowns for years to come so we can continue celebrating for years to come. We have the venue, the songs, and the awards; now, we must dress for the occasion.
