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

We're bursting with creativity, and every day my students inspire me with their unique ideas and perspectives!

Art encourages kids to make decisions, experiment, and try new things which helps them develop critical thinking and problem-solving skills.

However, to truly express ourselves, we need the right tools. I want to provide them with the essential supplies they need to bring their ideas to life, giving them the freedom to explore, create, and grow.

My kids are special because they think outside the box, push boundaries, and approach every challenge with a fresh perspective. Your support will help make our creative dreams a reality!
