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

Wearing something that represents who you are—your roots, your culture, your community—builds confidence and a sense of belonging.

Many of my students come from low-income families and can’t afford personalized items that reflect their heritage.

With your support, we can create something meaningful—something that helps them feel seen, proud, and connected to their roots.

At a time when they’re navigating identity, emotions, and big transitions, The Cricut and Cricut Easy Press gives 8th graders a chance to express themselves, feel connected to their peers, and just have fun. It’s not just about themed outfits—it’s about building memories, boosting morale, and strengthening school pride before they take their next big step.
