Graduation Candy Leis

Help me give my students a graduation gift of a candy lei on their last day!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Amezcua's classroom raised $443

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

The candy lei I'm requesting will make a meaningful difference in my seniors' learning by providing them with a small token of appreciation on their last day in my class. As they've worked diligently throughout the year, this gesture serves as a heartfelt parting gift to celebrate their achievements and commemorate our time together. My goal for this project is to show my gratitude and admiration for their hard work and dedication while also fostering a sense of camaraderie and warmth as they transition to the next chapter of their lives. What makes my students special is their resilience, creativity, and unwavering commitment to learning, which inspire me every day.
