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

I am teaching Independent Living Skills to various students who may not have experience doing the things many of us take for granted. I am introducing art as a coping skill to reflect and make sense of the world around them. I want my students to have a rich art experience in our class this summer. I want to take them outside to interact with nature and to become a part of the world that you and I may take for granted. This donation ofcanvas, paint and brushes would be life changing to the most vulnerable.
