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 absolutely love the unique spark that each of my K–2 students with extensive needs brings to the classroom. They are incredibly resilient, creative, and full of potential. Watching them grow and discover new ways to express themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of teaching.

The art supplies in this project will allow my students to engage in creative expression, build fine motor skills, and gain confidence.

Whether it's painting, drawing, or crafting, these materials will help them communicate in ways that words alone can’t always express. Art is a powerful tool for social-emotional growth, and with your support, we can provide a space where each child can shine, feel proud, and explore their creativity to the fullest.
