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

I know it may seem early to get into the holiday spirit, but, why wait to get things ready when I can plan with time! As we know, the school year goes by quickly and by the time we want to start planning, it's too late. Which is why I'm asking for your help to get the ball rolling for his holiday season!

To help build community with our students, we want to bring arts and crafts front and center this holiday season!

Painting is fun at any age, that by encouraging students and staff to get together to paint, a safe space gets created and creativity will get flowing!

Multiple activities will be planned through the autumn and winter seasons, so it would be fun to get the ball rolling with some paint activity kits.
