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

Throughout the year we make hundreds of art projects needing glue. These items bring out the individuality, creativity and productivity of our students. They always love doing projects and want to go to the Art center to express themselves! With your donation this will be possible.

The most important thing to art is being able to put your name to your artwork.

The markers will allow the students to practice their name so that they can take ownership and pride in their artwork! I cannot wait to share what my students creat with your donation!
