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 us put on a musical show! We are asking for props to make our dream come to life. Our special education class will be singing Stars! We want to welcome the audience and look festive. We really want this show to be amazing! The more we are decorated, the more the students will feel confident. We are also asking for decorations to help set the stage. This is something special we have been waiting a long time to do. Please help us fund this amazing project so we can have a show!

Mrs. Sodomsky PS 11 Kathryn Phelan Grades 3-5
