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

My students live in the Bronx. I serve a diverse group of students from kindergarten through fifth grade. Many are English language learners and come from low-income families. They are so excited to have a visual arts class where they can express themselves. I will be visiting classrooms in a blended capacity and a large percentage may be working remotely this upcoming school year. I see several classes on a remote only basis as well as those in the building

My art class is a safe haven where students can feel free to take creative risks and express their emotions.

Students in my school typically don't have access to art supplies at home. They are bright, creative, and eager young scholars. They would all really benefit from your support with materials and mediums which they don't get to use except in our art classroom.

My Project

My elementary visual arts program runs on these essential supplies. With this school year eating up much of my supply stock in sending home- having access to these donations for next year will be critical.

My students love the creative problem solving opportunities and expression that visual arts allows for.

My program runs on crayons, glue, markers and colored pencils and we use these materials on a daily basis. We see roughly 300 students a week and these art supplies get heavy use and are essential to our program running smoothly.
