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 LOVE to paint and get creative, but we need your help to make it happen. Our brushes are old and not in great shape, our crayons have turned to uninspiring stubs, and we need something new to help keep the students engaged. That is why I am asking for new brushes, fun glitter crayons, and colorful pens for our future Art projects.

Students want to have fun in Art!

And I need your help making sure they do. These new brushes would last us for years, and the new crayons are guaranteed to put smiles on the kids faces.

Grades 6-8
