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

Help me give my students colored pencils, markers and paint to enhance their learning through art! In my classroom, students will use art to explore and understand different subjects including language arts, science, and social studies. Integrating art into academics helps students deepen their comprehension of other subjects and express their ideas creatively.

I teach at a Title I school, where many students face economic challenges and have limited access to art supplies.

Your support will provide them with the tools they need to learn and grow creatively. Thank you for considering our classroom.
