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

Working with middle school students can be challenging, so the Razzle Dazzle Arts and Crafts project is about finding new ways to connect with them. Students will get the chance to participate in a step-by-step canvas painting project. Painting can boost confidence when students see the progress they have made, promote communication skills, socialization, self-expression, and, most importantly, the ability to relieve stress. This program will be held in the school library, allowing more students to take advantage of everything the library offers. The program focuses on designing and promoting engaging activities that help young people develop their creativity, interests, and talents.

Celebrate Black teachers and kids! This project supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of students are Black.
