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
Summary:
Help us make our fundraising gala eco-friendly and meaningful by providing 240 cloth napkins.
This reusable solution not only adds elegance but also teaches students valuable lessons about sustainability and community involvement.
The Need:
Our school, located in a low-income area, relies on events like our gala to fund programs that support student success. Disposable napkins are wasteful and expensive, while cloth napkins offer a sustainable, cost-effective alternative. By using cloth napkins, we can model environmentally responsible choices while reducing waste.
The Solution:
With your help, we’ll purchase 240 cloth napkins for our gala, creating a more sustainable and professional event. After the gala, these napkins will be used for other school events like family nights and award ceremonies, making this an investment in both our students and the environment.
Students will take an active role in planning and executing the gala, gaining hands-on experience in event management, budgeting, and sustainability practices. These experiences will help them develop leadership skills and understand the importance of environmental responsibility.
The Impact:
Your donation will have a lasting impact. The cloth napkins will save money, reduce waste, and provide a reusable resource for future events. More importantly, they will support students in learning practical skills and values that will benefit them throughout their lives.
Thank you for helping us make our fundraising gala—and our school community—more sustainable and impactful!
