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

We're rallying support to create memorable gift bags for our 5th grade students as they gear up for middle school. With your donations of stickers, pencils, markers, erasers, sticky notes, snacks, and pencil pouches, we aim to provide them with essential tools and a sense of excitement for the journey ahead. These items symbolize more than just supplies; they represent a community coming together to support and uplift our students during this important transition.

Your contribution will not only equip them with practical items but also convey a message of encouragement and care as they take this next step in their academic journey.

Let's ensure our students feel celebrated and empowered as they embark on this new chapter in their educational lives.
