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

There is nothing like allowing students to use creativity to bring their ideas to life. This is why every school year my school puts on an Exhibit Night where students create their own exhibits - just like you see in a real museum. In order to do this, we need art supplies - which are quite pricey.

Therefore, I am in need of paint, paint brushes, canvas, colored pencils, and drawing paper in order to create a state of the art exhibit.

We are looking to create items dealing with our nation's democracy and symbols so all items will be put to good use by all my students. Please consider donating to my classroom!
