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

I need to replenish my art supplies! My classroom needs things that I cannot afford to provide for my young artists. I would love for my students to do all kinds of wonderful projects.

I am requesting canvases for a winter project, trifolds to display their art at Open House, Kwik Stix for easy painting projects and sketch books to use weekly.

All of these supplies will be used and loved. My students always love doing a variety of projects. Even though I am the worst artist (think stick cows!), I go outside my comfort zone to show them that with a little practice, you can really make something beautiful.

Thank you so much for supporting public schools in California.
