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

I am requesting classroom supplies to make the next school year started.

Current school year students have expressed that the chairs in my classroom are very uncomfortable, so I would like to supply upcoming school year students cushions.

I am also in need of replacing many broken and missing tools. I have been fixing the broken tools with super glue, and it would be nice to have a brand new ones to start the school year.

My AP Art student would like to explore the option with stained glass for their project, and I am requesting a kit for him.

My art budget can cover for clay and glaze, but it would be nice to have new tools that are not broken to keep the creativity going.
