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

What makes my students special is their energy, creativity, and willingness to try new things—on and off the field. As a PE teacher, I’m always looking for ways to connect movement and fun with creativity and school spirit. That’s where a Cricut machine and vinyl supplies come in!

With your help, we’ll bring a new level of excitement into our classroom.

The Cricut will allow us to create custom team shirts, motivational posters, student-designed water bottles, and even personalized classroom decor. Students will get hands-on experience designing and cutting vinyl, which is not only fun but also builds skills in design, planning, and teamwork.

Whether we’re creating team logos for our fitness groups or crafting vinyl decals with encouraging phrases to display in the gym, this project lets students take pride in their space and their work.

My project goals are to foster creativity by allowing students to design PE-related gear and décor. Promote school spiriti and a sense of belonging through custom team shirts. Provide hands-on experience with modern crafting tools

Create a more welcoming, student-centered PE environment

This project gives students a voice in how their class looks and feels—and your support makes that possible!

Items I’m Requesting are Cricut Explore or Maker Machine, Vinyl rolls (variety of colors and types: iron-on, permanent, removable), Transfer tape, and Cricut tools and cutting mats.

What makes my students special is their energy, creativity, and willingness to try new things. They get so excited when they can bring their ideas to life—especially with tools like our Cricut machine! Working with vinyl and iron-on vinyl has opened up a whole new world for them to personalize projects, design classroom decor, and even create gifts. It’s amazing to see their confidence grow as they explore hands-on learning.
