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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

As we prepare to celebrate the remarkable achievement of our first class of graduating seniors with Individualized Education Programs (IEPs), we want to ensure that their transition to the next phase of their lives is marked with joy and appreciation. Our students have shown incredible determination and perseverance, and now it's time to honor their hard work.

Our Project Needs:

Decor Items: To create a festive and uplifting atmosphere for our graduation ceremony and related events. This includes, balloons, streamers, and other decorations to make the occasion memorable.

Gifts: Key chains and personalized pens of appreciation to recognize the accomplishments of our graduating seniors.

Microwaves: Two microwaves to be placed in designated areas accessible to our graduating seniors. These microwaves will provide practical support by allowing them to conveniently reheat their meals or snacks during the celebration as students and their families will be arriving at different times, we want to ensure they have access to warm food when they arrive.
