My Project

Our school is preparing for a vibrant Multicultural Celebration that highlights the beauty and traditions of cultures from around the world. One of the most exciting stations we’re planning features henna art, a cherished tradition in many South Asian, Middle Eastern, and African cultures. With your support, we can provide safe, authentic henna supplies so students and families can experience this beautiful form of cultural expression.

Our students come from a wide range of backgrounds and love learning about different cultures.

Many of them are proud of their heritage and excited to share it with others. Events like our Multicultural Celebration are powerful opportunities for students to connect, build understanding, and feel seen. When we create space for their traditions—like henna—they light up with pride.

Henna is more than just a decorative tradition—it’s a symbol of celebration, community, and identity in many cultures. By providing this experience, we help students feel proud of where they come from and help others appreciate the richness of global traditions. Your support helps us create an inclusive event where every culture is honored and every student feels represented.
