Celebrating 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

We are in the process of planning our much-anticipated Enchanted Forest-themed prom, which will take place on May 23rd. Our goal is to create a magical and memorable evening for our students, but we need Enchanted Forest decorations like a background, mini lantern centerpieces, lights, and a few branches. The students chose the theme, and we are trying our hardest to bring their idea to life. It will bring them great joy and memories that will last a lifetime.

We tried to keep the prom cost-efficient and affordable for students, which means that we won't be able to purchase decorations.

However, we want to try to make this a great night for our seniors. These decorations could turn a boring, black room into a magical Enchanted Forest. We are asking for light-up trees, a butterfly light, a background, and some willows for the entrance. Hopefully, it will be one night that they won't forget.
