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

What I love most about my students is their creativity, resilience, and the excitement they bring to learning through art.

As a Title 1 school, many of our students face significant challenges, but art gives them a powerful outlet for expression and confidence.

We are working to rebuild our ceramics program, and we need essential tools and colorful glazes to bring it to life. These resources will allow students to explore texture, technique, and surface design, helping them develop both artistic skills and pride in their creations. Your support will truly make a lasting impact.
