FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Granata-Basso's classroom raised $162

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

Our Student Council is hosting a middle school dance and is in need of decor to make their Winter Wonderland theme come to life! The tablecloths will cover existing cafeteria tables to create a more inviting space for students to sit and chat with friends, eat dinner, and enjoy snacks. One of the biggest school-wide goals is Social Emotional Health and this dance is one of many activities centered around students' developmental needs, It promotes building positive relationships amongst peers as well as planning and preparation by the student leaders.

These shiny blue and silver tablecloths will make a huge statement on the tables and provide pops of color to enhance the atmosphere of their dance.

The goal of this dance is to continue to build relationships with our middle school students and give them a celebration to look forward to. We want to make magical memories that will last our students a lifetime and create a beautiful space for them to enjoy dancing, eating, and chatting with their peers.
