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 Students

My students, mostly Hispanic and African-American, are smart, creative, and eager to learn, as long as the learning entertains and engages them. In my 18 years of teaching, I've found that students produce some of their best work when they are allowed to be creative and show what they know. The irony is that they lack the supplies to create this work. This is what I would like to change.

I teach at a Title I school in Manhattan in which most students don't get to take an art class until 12th grade.

My Project

For this project, I am requesting a variety of supplies to use with our beloved Cricut, that was previously funded through DonorsChoose.org. Earlier this year, I created a Craft Club to help students use art as a creative outlet. By far, the biggest hit has been using the Cricut machine to create pencil pouches, cards, and tote bags. Students love being able to personalize their creations. To help the Craft Club continue to be successful, we need supplies such as vinyl, paper, and items like tote bags and tumblers that can be designed. Students will use the heat transfer vinyl, for example, to create their own T-shirt or tote bag. The foil transfer kit will be used to create amazing metallic accents to cards and paper crafts.

During this chaotic school year, arts and crafts have helped my students find purpose and relieve stress.

With your donation, we can help students be creative while helping them with their social-emotional learning.
