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

Our Title I school is seeking support to purchase a cotton candy machine to create memorable experiences and raise funds for student programs and school activities. Many of our students come from low-income households, making it difficult to provide enrichment opportunities without additional community support.

A cotton candy machine will be used at family nights, school celebrations, literacy events, STEM nights, and fundraisers to encourage community engagement and generate revenue for classroom resources, student incentives, and educational activities.

It will also help make school events more welcoming and exciting for students and their families.

Your donation will provide our school with a reusable fundraising tool that will benefit students for years to come. By supporting this project, you're helping us build a stronger school community while creating joyful memories and expanding opportunities for every child. Thank you for investing in our students and helping our school thrive.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
