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

We're seeking a TA-20 Canon Poster Printer to empower our students in their diversity, justice, and action projects. This printer will serve as a catalyst for them to visually express their ideas, advocate for equity, and inspire positive change within our school community.

The TA-20 Canon Poster Printer will enable students to create impactful visual displays that highlight social issues, celebrate diversity, and promote inclusivity.

Through hands-on design and production, students will deepen their understanding of social justice concepts and develop critical thinking skills while fostering empathy and collective responsibility.

Our primary goal is to empower students to become advocates for diversity, justice, and action through visual representation. We aim to raise awareness, spark dialogue, inspire action, and cultivate empathy within our school community.

Our students are passionate, empathetic, and driven to make a difference. They possess diverse perspectives and experiences that enrich our classroom environment. With the TA-20 Canon Poster Printer, they'll have the platform to amplify their voices and create positive change.
