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

I am collecting holiday items for my students to provide a memorable holiday experience this academic school year. My goals for this project are to ensure that their social and emotional needs are met with JOY, LOVE, and HOLIDAY CHEER this year.

My students work hard on their academics everyday and they are always eager to learn and discover what the world may bring to them.

They are caring and responsible individuals that are deserving of kindness from wonderful people like you.

Please consider funding our project, because we would greatly appreciate it. Thank you for your generosity!

Mr. Amaro Allen & William Arnold Elementary School Grades PreK-2
