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

Halloween is a season that brings excitement, creativity, and a sense of community to schools. For students, having a Halloween costume is more than just dressing up, it’s an opportunity to feel included, express themselves, and share in a festive tradition with their peers. When students can participate fully in Halloween functions at school, it significantly boosts their morale and emotional well-being.

Costumes allow children to step into a world of imagination, whether they choose to be a superhero, a favorite character, or something unique.

This creative expression fosters confidence and belonging, especially in group activities like costume parades, classroom parties, and themed games. For many students, especially those who may not have the resources at home, being able to dress up can be the difference between feeling left out and feeling part of something special.

When students are supported with access to costumes, schools become more inclusive environments. The act of participating in Halloween activities together helps build stronger peer relationships and strengthens the overall sense of school spirit. For younger children, these joyful experiences become lasting memories that shape their view of school as a safe, fun, and welcoming place.

Providing costumes for students who need them ensures that every child has the chance to take part equally. In doing so, we help nurture not just seasonal joy, but also year-round community values like empathy, inclusion, and support.
