Help me give my students the essentials to adulthood! Decision Day is May 1st and the items on this list will create 12 baskets to gift 12 Seniors so they're ready to start a new chapter.
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
Decision Day 2023 is May 1st, 2023, and is a nationally recognized celebration for all post-secondary decisions made by our Seniors. From 2-year or 4-year Colleges to Workforce and Military, our students are off to start a grand new adventure! We've helped to create these pathways via late-night recommendation letters, application help, and scholarship research.
Now it's time to celebrate them!
With the help of our community, we can give away 12 gift baskets to 12 lucky Seniors to start this new, and exciting chapter in their lives! It's the little things like remembering to bring pencils and helping families fund their student's new paths with crisp bed sheets and laundry baskets so they can finally stop leaving their socks all over the place. A lunch box for snacks between classes or when the dining hall isn't serving their favorites. Wall putty to hang up pictures of the family pet and all the memories they'll for sure be having in a few months.
Help us with their transition into their next phase of life!
More than half of students from low‑income households
