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

Our students are so looking forward to their 8th grade dance. This year they are having a Masquerade.

We are hoping to get the students light up rings, necklaces, glasses, and some party favors to remember the night!

The dance is an amazing experience to watch the kids interact with each other in a more social environment.

All the props and supplies help to break the ice for the students and allow them to get out on the dance floor with low lighting while they glow. This year we have a very wonderful large group of 8th grade students who are very deserving. .
