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

In our classroom, we strive to create a dynamic and engaging learning environment where every student can thrive. With your support, we aim to enhance our curriculum with a diverse array of materials that inspire creativity, critical thinking, and a love for learning.

By providing a range of art supplies, including a Pearington 25-Shelf Mobile Art Drying Rack, Crayola Model Magic, Play-Doh and plastic needles, I will have the ability to ignite curiosity and foster a passion for art exploration in my students.

Thank you for considering this opportunity to support our classroom. With your help, we can provide our students with the resources they need to unleash their creativity, ignite their imaginations, and pursue their passions with enthusiasm and joy. Together, we can empower every student to reach their full potential academically, artistically, and personally.
