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 senior class of 2022 has experienced various journeys in their 4 years of high school. Please help us decorate for our prom, help us to show how special, resilient and proud we are of what they have been able to accomplish in an almost impossible situation. These electric tealight, candles, fabrics and other various materials will help to create the mood and celebrate all the struggles and successes our kids experienced. The cost of the pandemic has taken so much from our kids, help us by creating the mood and celebration.
