Hispanic Heritage Month for All!

Help me give my students cultural recognition and pride! Let's kick off Hispanic Heritage month decorating the entrance of our school so that all students can celebrate and learn what this month is all about!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Cindy Alvarado's classroom raised $256

This project is fully funded

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 majority of the students in our school are from a Spanish speaking culture. We have a month long celebration for Hispanic Heritage month and yet we don't have sufficient resources to acknowledge, respect or celebrate all of the beautiful cultures! Help us acquire some beautiful, simple, culturally relevant decorations for the front of our school entrance so that everyone upon arrival can acknowlede, respect and learn about what this month is! The beauty, language, customs, traditions and history will benefit us all and give us so much more cultural pride!
