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

My students are bright, creative, and full of potential—but their learning environment doesn’t reflect that. Our classroom walls are bare, and we lack the tools to bring their ideas to life. With your support, we can fill our space with the color and energy it’s missing—through sketchbooks, drawing paper, and colored pens that spark creativity and joy. These simple tools help students express themselves, feel seen, and stay engaged.

Color transforms more than just walls—it transforms minds.

You can help show our students they’re worth it. Together, let’s build the vibrant classroom they truly deserve.
