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 fifth graders are about to reach an important milestone — their elementary school graduation! To help them remember this special moment forever, we are seeking camera equipment to take professional-quality graduation photos. These photos will capture not only their bright smiles but also the incredible memories, friendships, and accomplishments they have made throughout their elementary journey.

Many of our students have limited opportunities for professional photos, and your support will ensure every child receives a keepsake to treasure.

The camera will allow us to take high-quality, meaningful portraits and candid shots during graduation events, awards ceremonies, and special end-of-year celebrations.

Your donation will help us preserve these once-in-a-lifetime memories and give our students a beautiful reminder of how far they've come — and how bright their futures are. Thank you for helping us make their final year of elementary school unforgettable!
