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 Students
I have a classroom full of little DaVinci's and Monet's waiting to happen, but I need to provide them the tools they need to succeed and make their masterpieces come to life.
We are a struggling middle to low class neighborhood who has deeply felt the effects of our country's struggling economy.
Yet, in the middle of it all, sits a little jewel, our school. Our school, is a wonderful place to be. It is a close-knit family where teachers, parents and students work together. Although, our school is a little gem, we are lacking on a few aspects, and that is that our students often lack a lot of background knowledge. Often, their parents are busy working and they aren't exposed to a lot of culture or experiences. Our school is 99% Hispanic and 73% of our students are either on free or reduced lunch. The teachers at our school do everything possible to help these children succeed.
My Project
The resources that I am requesting for our school will be invaluable for us. It will not only provide our students with a meaningful learning experience it will aid in opening doors and avenues some of these children have never experienced. The construction paper and art stix are just the means we need to create a priceless experience.
The donations requested will make an immense difference in our school's art program.
It will provide us with the means to begin enlarging masterpieces. The students will see an integration between art and math and will hopefully not only develop a deeper understanding of the renaissance period but a meaningful learning experience that will aid them in math, measurement, to be more specific.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
