Celebrating 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

Hello, my name is Aisha Nailah. I'm an artist and new teacher with the Public Schools looking to outfit my classroom with a diverse range of art materials to support my pre-k through 8th grade students.

I'm determined to provide a ROBUST art experience for my students.

My students come from varying socio-economic and cultural backgrounds and unfortunately a lot of them do not get exposed to the arts outside of their classrooms. With these art supplies and materials I can develop skills, provide exposure and foster extended learning through different art modalities. I hope you can help.
