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 hopeful to make my students 5th grade graduation a truly special milestone. Many of our families face financial challenges, but our kids have worked so hard all year and deserve to be celebrated.

Help us give our amazing 5th graders the graduation celebration they deserve with provided snacks, keepsakes, and a memorable ceremony to honor their achievements.

With your support, we can give these young scholars the recognition they’ve earned and the encouragement they need as they move on to middle school. Thank you for helping us make it unforgettable!

Ms. Furman Elementary School 7 Grades 3-5

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
