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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

The art students at SMSA enjoy creating large colorful art banners together. The students will work in groups of 3-4 and they will plan and create a variety of banners that make our school feel welcoming throughout the school year.

The students will create art banners that will help us build, develop, and maintain our sense of community.

We want all students to feel welcomed, and safe and that they belong at SMSA. We will create art banners that visually reflect our school-wide expectations and core values: Respect, Responsibilty, Self-Discipline, and Dedication. The art materials will allow us to create large, colorful messages that will be read by all students in grades 6-12 and staff because they will be displayed in the cafeteria. The tempra paint sticks and markers will help us make our banners vibrant and eye-catching.
