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 Students

Our new school does not have the supplies that are considered normal for our leadership class. We have not been able to build up student body funds, because we just opened in September. Help our kids begin to decorate and advertise school events!

We are a new span school 6th - 12th grades.

We are in SoCAL and we helped relieve over-crowding of schools in our community. We are a diverse school with all stripes and colors represented. We are a Title I school that needs your help. We have not had access to all our budgets until the community can create our Single Plan for Student Achievement that can not begin until we have students and parents attending the school.

My Project

Turn our bland blank white walls into walls of color, student murals, advertising for student events! We have the paper, we have the walls, but we need the color! Help us out with getting us started. We need to let their creativity begin to burst out into student murals both inside and outside. We have a great new campus, but it is void of the art and murals that help define a school and it's culture.

This project will help build our school culture and help get our kids more involved in school.

Being involved in school increases their chances for success. We are depending on you to help create a school that includes the arts.
