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

Our project enriches student engagement in mental health awareness through creative expression using Cricut materials. By providing vinyl for stickers and shirts, students will design and produce their own mental health awareness imagery. This hands-on activity not only fosters creativity but also empowers students to contribute personally to the campaign, enhancing their connection to the cause. Additionally, we plan to capture the kickoff day with Polaroid pictures, creating lasting visual memories that celebrate our collective advocacy. The Cricut materials will also be used to craft eye-catching posters, strategically placed to draw attention and disseminate vital mental health information. These resources are crucial for making the campaign visually appealing and emotionally resonant, encouraging ongoing dialogue and awareness among the student body.
