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

Student artwork is proudly displayed weekly throughout the school campus, showcasing their creativity and dedication. Maintaining these displays requires consistent effort and care, ensuring the artwork remains fresh and inspiring for everyone to enjoy.

A cordless glue gun and hot glue sticks will help streamline the process, enabling more pieces to be rotated regularly throughout the year.

These tools make it easier to present a wider variety of student creations, keeping the displays dynamic and engaging.

In the art room, scented Mr. Sketch markers add an element of fun, sparking conversations and encouraging hands-on activities. Meanwhile, foundational supplies like pencils, rulers, and erasers are essential but often run low by the end of the semester due to the high volume of students. Your support helps ensure these everyday tools are always available for young artists.
