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

My eighth graders have just embarked on their final quarter of elementary school and are preparing for graduation. My co-teacher and I would like to surprise them with a fun end-of-the-year activity to celebrate all of their amazing accomplishments. That is why we are requesting art supplies and materials to help students decorate their graduation caps.

We are requesting the following materials: paint pens, card stock, iron-on patches, and resin charms to help students decorate their graduation caps.

We have so many artistic students who would love to create custom designs on the graduation caps using the paint pens which is why we requested two different packs: regular color and metallic color pens. Also, we are requesting tiny iron-on patches that we will help students adhere to their caps. Additionally we would like cardstock to help students create designs and backgrounds. Lastly, we are requesting assorted resign charms that can be hot-glued to their caps.

Please consider donating to our project to help our students celebrate each other, their journeys and the end of an amazing year. It will be a bonding experience they will never forget!
