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

We’re raising funds to purchase a Cricut machine for our 10th-grade classroom to give students hands-on experience with design, technology, and creativity. This compact cutting machine will be a powerful addition to our learning environment, enabling students to transform digital designs into real-world products.

This machine will empower students to design and create personalized items like stickers, labels, classroom décor, and even small business products, building both artistic and entrepreneurial skills.

With your support, students will gain real-world experience in design, technology, and crafting that fosters critical thinking and collaboration.

With a Cricut, students will engage in cross-curricular projects that combine art, entrepreneurship, technology, and community service. For example:

Graphic Design Projects – Students will use design software to create custom vinyl decals, stickers, and wall art that reflect themes from literature, history, or personal identity.

School Spirit & Leadership – Students can design posters, locker decorations, t-shirts, or event banners that promote school spirit and student-led initiatives.

Help us turn ideas into reality—and creativity into confidence!
