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

A big goal at our school is family engagement and building relationships with students as well as with those closest to them. We hold a tri-annual movie night with our next one coming on June 13th. We want to provide students and families with a sweet treat during a hot night. We plan to utilize this Shave Ice Machine and accessories for many movie nights to come.

What better way to celebrate student success and foster relationships with families than watching a movie under the stars and enjoying a delicious shave ice that will be sure to impress all!

Students have worked very hard this year and this is a unique reward that will be sure to be a highlight of movie events, field days, and dances for years to come!

We are requesting the Shave Ice machine and accessories to jumpstart our school wide investment!
