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

Please help our students participate in an amazing performance of Moana Jr! Currently, they do not have the costumes, sets, and props that they need to pull off such a big show. With your help, they will be able to shine like the stars that they are!

Students in grades 4-6 would love to shine on stage in beautiful costumes while performing in this year's school production of Moana Jr!

This project includes brightly colored t-shirts, flowing fans to simulate waves, colorful costume pieces for main characters, leggings, tights, and so much more! With these costumes, the students will really be able to bring the show of Moana Jr. to life for their classmates, families, friends, and community. Please help them live out their dream of performing on stage for all to see!

Thank you for considering our project and for thinking of our students. We are so grateful for your support and for helping this project come to life!
