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

My students are sweet, spirited, and always ready to celebrate their learning! To reward their hard work and creativity, we’re planning a Candy Land Celebration. A magical event that turns our classroom into a sugary wonderland. To bring this theme to life and make the experience unforgettable, we need a few key ingredients: imagination, joy, and eye-catching neon lights!

We're requesting neon light signs to transform our classroom into a glowing Candy Land experience.

Imagine bright signs spelling out “Welcome to Candy Land!” Lighting plays a huge role in setting the mood, and neon signs will add that whimsical pop of color and fun that will make this event truly special.

The celebration is more than just fun, it’s a chance to reward positive behavior, build classroom community, and create a joyful memory tied to school. Our Candy Land event is also connected to a broader goal: reinforcing literacy, math, and SEL skills through themed stations. The neon lights will anchor these stations and spark student excitement the moment they walk in.

In a Title I school where resources are limited and many students face daily challenges outside the classroom, moments of magic can make all the difference. Neon lights will turn an ordinary classroom into an extraordinary celebration space, showing students they are valued and that learning can be joyful and fun.

With your help, we can light up their world, literally and make this Candy Land celebration one they’ll never forget!
