Celebrating 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
Welcome to our High School's first-ever Clay Club, a vibrant community dedicated to providing low-income students with the resources and inspiration to explore their artistic talents. Our club offers a unique opportunity for students who may not have access to art supplies at home to immerse themselves in the transformative world of ceramics.
In Clay Club, students can unleash their creativity, learning essential techniques in hand-building and decoration.
The students who are a part of Clay Club not only develop their artistic skills but also build confidence and foster a sense of belonging. The act of molding clay becomes a powerful metaphor for personal growth—shaping ideas, building connections, and embracing individuality.
The Clay Club serves as a safe space where students from diverse backgrounds come together to collaborate, share stories, and express their emotions through art. By providing access to high-quality materials and tools, we eliminate barriers that often prevent talented young artists from pursuing their passion. Each piece they create tells a story, reflects their experiences, and enhances their self-esteem.
However, we need your support to keep this initiative thriving. Your donations will directly fund essential materials like clay, paints, tools, and shelving, ensuring that every student can participate fully. By investing in the Clay Club, you’re not just funding art supplies—you’re empowering the next generation of creators and change makers.
Join us in nurturing creativity, resilience, and community. Together, we can transform lives one piece of clay at a time. Thank you for considering a donation to our High School Clay Club!
More than half of students from low‑income households
