Celebrating 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 Students
Many of our students and families are struggling with homelessness, hunger, violence, and inconsistent home support. We are a Title I school. We serve breakfast, lunch, and dinner.
The art room is a safe and inclusive place for creative expression.
My 240 middle schoolers have little to nothing of formal visual arts education. Sixty of my students have special needs. These students attend their classes in a variety of settings. Depending on their needs, they attend my class with paraprofessionals or attend independently. Those sixty students are spread out throughout the six periods during the day.
Once in the art class, they have access to the tools and supplies in the art room. Art develops fine motor and problem-solving skills. Art enhances communication and expression.
The Covid 19 pandemic has turned everything on its head. We are still meeting on a regular basis, but my students don't have access to the art room and the supplies. Your donation will help provide supplies to my students at home.
Art promotes self-esteem and motivation to succeed.
My Project
The students will be getting modeling clay, lanyard lacing, and paint. During this pandemic, the students have been staring at their screens for hours. First, it was their phones or devices for pleasure, and now it is for virtual learning.
These students need a break from the screen and an opportunity to create with their hands.
They will be getting Model Magic, modeling clay. Students of all ages can learn from moving, touching, and manipulating materials. They will be able to make keychains with the lanyard lacing and paint colorful work.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
