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

The Senior Celebration is a special event designed to honor the graduating class and recognize their hard work, achievements, and growth throughout their high school journey. This celebration is an important milestone, providing students with a positive and memorable send-off as they transition out of higschool.

We are requesting funding to help cover snacks that will be given during the celebration, art supplies to make friendship bracelets & paint, and stress management tools for students to grab.

These resources are crucial in creating a meaningful experience that reflects their milestone. With proper funding, we can ensure that all students feel included and celebrated, regardless of their financial background.
