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

This Valentine’s Day, we want to create a magical and meaningful experience for our students by setting up a themed backdrop and providing supplies for handmade cards. The backdrop will serve as a fun, festive space where students can take memorable photos, while the card-making supplies will allow them to express gratitude and kindness to their classmates, teachers, and loved ones.

With your support, we can purchase a beautiful Valentine’s-themed backdrop, props, and crafting materials like paper, markers, stickers, and decorations.

These tools will encourage students to unleash their creativity and foster connections as they share heartfelt messages with one another.

Valentine’s Day is all about love, friendship, and appreciation—values we strive to nurture in our classroom every day. Your generosity will help us make this celebration special, while also teaching students the joy of giving and creating. Thank you for helping us spread love this Valentine’s season!
