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 Students

My students are learners who deserve the best materials that match their enthusiasm! They inspire me with the drive to participate in arts activities. As a team, I want to be the leader they deserve and be able to give them high quality resources. These can empower and galvanize a sense of worth in what they are learning.

I am awestruck by the tenacity with which my children have embraced 'remote learning' and as such wish to honor their potential with an improved setting in their homes by delivering art supplies.

My Project

My middleschoolers are imaginative and loving kids. They come from low-income households yet have had a positive experience with the introduction of remote learning.

They have an ability to be successful artists using art paper, pencils, and markers.

Many depend on forces beyond their control that often cannot provide the best tools for this. I want to place consumable resources they crave readily in their hands. This will make drawing, coloring and designing art images be able to happen without the idea they do not have enough in order to learn.

Despite the hardships they are facing with school being closed, they are eager learners who will benefit greatly from these supplies.
