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

Help us bring creativity to life in our classroom with a Cricut cutting machine! This versatile tool will allow our students to design and create beautiful decorations, crafts, and projects for Lunar New Year and beyond.

For Lunar New Year, students will use the Cricut to craft intricate lanterns, banners, and festive designs that celebrate this vibrant cultural tradition.

These hands-on activities will deepen their understanding of the holiday’s history and significance while fostering collaboration and creativity.

Beyond the Lunar New Year, the Cricut will be a valuable resource throughout the school year. From personalized art projects to bulletin board displays, this tool will enhance lessons in math, science, art, and literacy by bringing students’ ideas to life.

Your generous support will give our students the chance to express themselves, build confidence in their abilities, and take pride in their creations. Thank you for helping us make learning engaging and memorable!
