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

This is our second year hosting hosting Trunk or Treat for our students and families. Our theme this year is Beetle Juice!! I have carefully selected supplies that will make our night even more special and exciting. I am looking forward to seeing the faces on all my students when they see all their first grade teachers dressed as Beetle Juice. I am especially excited to set up the cartoon blow up of Beetle Juice.

These kids and our community deserve to have a night to celebrate Halloween in the safety of our school parking lot.

There will be a backdrop for my students to take pictures with their classmates and family members. The display will include special flameless candles to add a fun spooky affect and some great props and lights to bring the whole vision together.

It is so important that we show our students that school is more than just academics and that it's a place where we work together, have fun, and bring our community together in a positive way! Please consider donating to this project so that we can give our entire school the best trunk or treat experience!!
