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

Project Week is a week of co-curricular education set aside during the regular school year in June. It is a time when the community recognizes the fact that education does not take place only in the classroom. Each year there are approximately 20 project week groups offering a wide variety of activities in the arts, sciences, service and outdoors. Such courses provide an opportunity for growth, improved self-confidence, learning, and, of course, fun.

Project Week provides an opportunity for students to dive deeply into an existing area of interest or explore a new interest during an immersive learning experience of their choosing.

Project Week courses are challenging and experiential; they involve, not just inform. We want them to be able to use different mediums to create crafts that maybe they haven't before. We want them to have access to candle making kits, metal stamping kits, paint, canvases, crochet and knitting supplies, and more so they have options to explore.

This is special for our students because we will hopefully be able to offer them many options and new things for them to try. We want to make sure that this is a memorable Project Week by having more than crayons and markers! We would love for them to have all the art materials they have been asking for.
