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

A school with wonderful bulletin boards and colorful walls creates an inviting space where children want to come and learn. We have large rolls of paper that stand on end in our lunch room. Teachers are unrolling the paper around their arms to get enough paper to create murals with student work. Sometimes we get the size right, and sometimes, we adjust our design. Wall racks will lift these large rolls of paper off the ground and provide us with easy pulling and cutting for the perfect length of paper with straight edges. Our staff will be able to access the large paper and will want to have students create murals of art work.

Wall racks provide a home for our 36" rolls of paper that will be colorful murals created by our students.

Lifting these heavy rolls of paper off the ground will make them easier to access, tear and use. When we have the right tools for the job, the job is that much easier. And making a teacher's job easier is a wonderful gift.

Thank you for considering our school for your donation!
