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

Art is limitless, and I want my students to experience that firsthand! By providing the essential materials like pencils, erasers, and paper, as well as a drying rack for their wet artwork and bulletin board decor for showcasing, my students will have everything they need to create, display, and celebrate their creativity.

This project aims to provide all students, regardless of background or ability, with an inclusive space to express themselves.

Whether they’re working on a drawing, painting, or a collaborative project, these basic materials will empower them to bring their ideas to life and share their work with others. Your support will make a lasting impact by providing the tools for students to create meaningful art that can be proudly displayed at our Open House and beyond.
