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 students are curious and have shown interest in the arts. I would love to continue to support and foster their growth by providing them with art supplies. The different art supplies will allow my students to explore other mediums to create and use their imagination.

The modeling clay and Mod Podge will be a creative outlet and encourage them to express their imagination.

Donating to our project will provide my students with hands-on learning. It will also enhance their self-expression and boost their imagination and creativity.

The goal for these supplies is for my students to use these materials during our Art time block.
