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

As we progress through the semester, I'm reaching out to discuss the needs of our art program at King. Our current supplies are running low, and we need your help to restock. We're specifically in need of colored pencils, paint palettes, watercolor paper, and construction paper.

These materials are crucial for our students to fully engage in artistic exploration and expression.

By replenishing our art supplies, we aim to provide our students with the tools they need to unleash their creativity and express themselves confidently. Your contributions will directly impact their artistic journey and foster a vibrant art community here at King.

Thank you for your continued support and dedication to our students' education. If you have any questions or would like to contribute, please don't hesitate to reach out.
