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

As a first-year art teacher and proud graduate of Bowie State University, an HBCU, I am excited to create a vibrant and inspiring art classroom where students can explore their creativity, build confidence, and express themselves freely.

My goal is to provide essential supplies—like paints, brushes, paper, and storage—to ensure all students have access to quality materials, regardless of their background.

With your support, I can transform my classroom into a welcoming space where young artists feel seen, valued, and empowered to create. Thank you so much for reading and hope you can help!
