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

It's the start of the school year! That means we need to be ready for our students when they graduate in June!

We are going to celebrate our pre-kindergarten and eighth grade students as they take another giant step towards their academic learning journey!

This project is requesting resources to create a memorable graduation for our youngest and oldest students. We will be creating balloon arches and special backdrops to show our students how special they are. This will make their graduation exciting and engaging for families to take photos with their graduates.

Thank you for helping make this graduation season extra special for our students!
