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 have so much potential and they deserve a positive learning. Space that will bring out the best in them.

The wall art from this project will be used to bring positivity to our classrooms, offices and open spaces so students feel inspired to do their best each day.

When students feel comfortable, welcome and calm they are more likely to achieve success because they can better focus on their academics. The wall art from this project is intended to inject positivity around our school and remind students of having a positive, growth mindset.
