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 8th-grade students are gearing up for an exciting educational trip to Boston, where they'll explore historical sites, museums, and immerse themselves in the rich culture of this vibrant city. To ensure they have a safe and comfortable journey, we are seeking your support to provide them with personalized, essential items: backpacks and water bottles.

Many of our students come from families facing financial constraints, and providing these items will alleviate some of the burdens they may face in preparing for the trip.

Backpacks will allow them to carry their belongings securely and comfortably throughout the day, while reusable water bottles will keep them hydrated as they navigate through the city's attractions.

Your generous contribution will directly impact our students' ability to fully engage in their educational journey to Boston. Every donation, no matter the size, will make a difference and be greatly appreciated.
