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

Children learn best when given the proper materials to express themselves. Students love to draw, paint and create art projects to make learning fun and most parents in our Title I school cannot afford to contribute consistently to school supplies.

Most of the supplies used to express art and creativity come out of my pocket, so I have added several art supplies and educational supplies the students can use to make their creativity come to life!

Watching children laugh and interact with others while playing is something you can't replace.
