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 classroom is dedicated to fostering creativity, self-expression, and a love for the arts. As part of my ongoing efforts to celebrate and encourage their artistic talents, I am reaching out to seek your generous support.

I would like to laminate and display students' artwork in our school to inspire pride in their accomplishments and create a more vibrant, welcoming environment.

In order to do this, we are in need of the following supplies:

Crayons and markers for students to use in their artwork, especially those colors that celebrate differences in skin colors, a laminating machine, and laminating sheets to preserve and display their creations.

Your donation of any of these materials would be greatly appreciated and would make a lasting impact on my students. By contributing, you’ll help create a space where their creativity can be shared and celebrated, both within our school community and beyond.

Your generosity will make a meaningful difference in the lives of my students, and we would be incredibly grateful for your support.
