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

I work at TES in San Francisco California. Our school has a lot of families that cannot purchase costumes for their kids. It would be nice and grateful if you would be able to help at school. If anyone is able to help donate costumes for some of the kids. We have a parade every year and some kids don't have costumes to walk around the parade we would appreciate if You would like to help our school in donating costumes for some of the kids for the parade this year for Halloween. Thanks so much in advance.
