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

Do you remember doing art project in your class and getting out the markers, colored pencils and paint? Well I want to do more art projects in my class!

We need markers, colored pencils, paint and paint brushes to make more art projects each week.

We are running low and not able to do as many art projects as we would like. I need to replenish the materials so we can paint with watercolors and even make flowers on construction paper. I want my students to be able to use markers more, as well, but our markers are running low. Help us replenish our supplies and be able to create more art.
