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

This chop saw would be such a meaningful addition to our art room. Right now, our students are designing and building props for our school’s Lion King: The Musical, and they are so excited to make the props themselves. Cutting cardboard is challenging and frustrating for small hands, and this tool would allow students to work more safely and confidently. It would not only help bring this production to life, but would also support student creativity, collaboration, and hands-on learning for many years to come. Thank you for your consideration!
