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

Art is a powerful way for children to express themselves, build confidence, and explore creativity. In my K–5 art classroom, students come from diverse backgrounds and bring unique perspectives, but many of them lack access to quality art supplies at home. For some, our classroom is their only chance to paint with real brushes, explore with clay, or design with vibrant colors.

These tools will give every child the opportunity to create meaningful projects that reflect their ideas, cultures, and imaginations.

By funding this project, you’ll be giving my students more than supplies; you’ll be giving them joy, inspiration, and the tools to express themselves in ways that words cannot. I am also requesting 2 gift cards from Teachers Pay Teachers for additional resources.
