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

Our students love to create projects and draw this year. We are running low on supplies and are need of more to continue our work! Please help us get some more!

Little artists need supplies to create masterpieces!

While creating, we are working on our fine motor skills and muscles. We try to create special artwork weekly, but always have the art easel and table open daily. We love to showcase our work on the hallway bulletin boards for all to see. Students will be surprised with fun new materials to create with.
