We Say Farewell to Elementary School

Help me give my students an end of Elementary School Celebration to remember.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Lopez-Ruiz's classroom raised $294

This project is fully funded

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 students are dedicated and persistent. They thrive through adversity and appreciate all they receive. They have been through COVID, learning loss, financial adversity, illness, learning dissabilities and they are triunfant Fifth Graders.

Help us honor their academic achievement by supporting our beautiful Red Carpet Celebration.

We want them to know what victory feels like and show them that academic success feels like a million dollars!

We will have a sit down lunch where they will be the honored guests so they can have a taste of what the American Deram is all about.
