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 creative and curious 4th-grade students love hands-on art projects that let them explore, build, and express themselves. But we need help gathering the materials, such as a hot glue gun, fabric, glue, and more that will make these moments possible! With your support, we’ll stock up on fun and essential supplies to bring their imaginative creations to life.

These supplies will not only support artistic expression—they’ll also help us explore cultural crafts, teamwork, and fine motor skills.

Your donation puts the tools of creativity directly in their hands. Thank you for helping our young artists dream big and make beautiful things!
