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

My students are creative and hard-working. They especially love painting, sewing, and needle felting. Help me continue to engage all learners in the creative process by stocking our classroom with a variety of high-quality art materials including painting paper, pencils, and felting materials. This will enable students to continue to work in a medium they love while giving them opportunities to try new art mediums. At this point of the school year, the Art room definitely needs to be replenished. Help me give my students the supplies they need to continue bringing their individual ideas to life!
