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

Step confidently into the spotlight by contributing to our 'Glow Getter' DonorsChoose campaign! Illuminate the evening for our students at their memorable glow-in-the-dark promotion dinner dance, setting the stage for a casual yet unforgettable celebration. Your generous support guarantees that they not only step into the future with style and excitement but also create a lasting memory. Join us in making their celebration shine even brighter.

It's important to note that we serve students in a historically disadvantaged neighborhood, and despite our limited funds for promotion and related activities, we are committed to ensuring that all 250 students receive the celebration they truly deserve.

With your invaluable support, we can turn this vision into a reality and make a positive impact on their lives.
