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 students are eager to develop hands-on skills that promote creativity, patience, and problem-solving. The sewing supplies we are requesting—such as fabric, needles, pin holders, safety pins, mini irons, and more—will provide them with the opportunity to engage in meaningful, practical learning experiences. These materials will allow students to explore sewing techniques, express their creativity through fabric projects, and gain a valuable life skill that can serve them in the future or in costume design.

Our goal for this project is to create an engaging, hands-on sewing experience where students can learn fundamental sewing techniques, understand the importance of precision and detail, and build confidence in their abilities.

Through these projects, they will develop fine motor skills, enhance their problem-solving abilities, and experience the satisfaction of creating something with their own hands. Not to mention, they will use these skills as they pertain to costume design for the Theatre.

What makes our students special is their curiosity, resilience, and excitement for learning new skills. Many of them have never had the opportunity to sew before, and this project will open doors to creativity and self-expression. By providing them with the right materials, we can help them discover a new passion, build patience and perseverance, and develop skills that will serve them well beyond the classroom. Your generosity will make a lasting impact on their education and inspire a lifelong love for hands-on learning!
