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

The Beetles Builder Gel sets, Modelones Nail Polish kits, WOAMA Manicure Kits, and rolling cart will give my students something they rarely have—access to professional tools that let them explore both art and skill. With these resources, they’ll be able to express themselves through nail design, build confidence in their creativity, and feel proud of what they can accomplish with their own hands.

This project will transform our classroom into a space where creativity meets opportunity.

By starting a Nail Club, students will not only enjoy a safe outlet for self-expression, but they will also begin to see how their passions can connect to real career pathways. The experience of practicing with professional-quality supplies will show them that their creativity has value—and that their ideas can lead to entrepreneurship and future success.

My students are special because they are resilient, curious, and eager to learn even when resources are limited. They deserve a space where they can shine, bond with peers, and discover their potential. By supporting this project, you’re giving them the chance to grow in confidence today and carry new skills into tomorrow.
