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

As a second-grade teacher, I believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore their creativity through the arts. Art is not just about creating—it’s about developing problem-solving skills, building self-confidence, and expressing emotions. However, many of our students lack the funding as a title 1 school.

We are also in need of headphones for when we like to research about art and different types of art while giving students that independence of creativity and technology.

Why do we need supplies?

Watercolor paint sets

Markers, crayons, and colored pencils

Construction paper and cardstock

Clay and sculpting tools

Brushes and various art supplies for mixed media projects

With your support, we can ensure that every child in my class has the materials they need to thrive creatively. Thank you for helping me bring the magic of art to my 2nd graders!

By framing your project with clear goals, specific materials, and the benefits of art education, you can effectively capture the attention of potential donors. Be sure to emphasize how donations will directly impact the students' learning experience and growth.
