Celebrating 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
The resources in this project will help create a more structured, organized, and professional classroom space where students can focus on their work without unnecessary distractions. The aprons will help them feel like true artists while protecting their clothing, allowing them to work more confidently. The cubby storage units will give each student a personal space to store their materials and projects, helping foster responsibility and independence. Finally, the secure storage cabinet will protect shared resources and keep the room tidy, making supplies accessible to everyone and extending the life of important materials.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
