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

What I love most about my students is their heart and commitment to serving others.This year marks a historic milestone—the launch of our Wellnest Center—and these students have been the heart behind it. Their dedication to student wellness and social-emotional growth has brought this vision to life.

They lead with kindness, show up for their peers, and make a lasting impact on our campus—often without expecting recognition.

The resources we're requesting—graduation cords and ceremony décor—will help us celebrate their efforts in a way that feels meaningful and memorable. The cords symbolize their dedication and leadership, giving them something tangible to wear with pride. The decorations will help create a festive atmosphere that reflects the joy and significance of their accomplishments. This celebration will not only honor their service, but also inspire younger students to follow in their footsteps.
