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

Caps and tassels are symbols of accomplishment and pride. And boy did our Kindergartners have a reason to feel accomplished and proud! They endured remote learning in pre-K and attended Kindergarten with masks and social distancing. Getting through this year was hard for the kiddos and for their families. Many of our hard working families lost their jobs and are struggling to make ends meet.

Let's help our Kindergartners and their families celebrate the end of this year in style!

If anyone deserves it, it is them. We want to create a beautiful memory in the midst of this pandemic. The purpose of receiving a cap, tassel, and a keepsake gift will memorialize this big achievement. Participating in the gesture of moving the tassel from one side to the other will symbolize the pride of hard work and desire to keep going.
