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

As a new art teacher, I am excited to bring life into my classroom and create a dynamic learning environment for my students. I aim to provide them with different materials that will inspire their creativity and encourage authentic self-expression. I want to inspire and instill a love for art in my students.

With the acquisition of new paints and art supplies, we can unlock the incredible potential of our students.

Your support will enable them to explore and create amazing projects, promoting their artistic skills such a creativity, fine motor skills, problem-solving, critical thinking among other things. Art class will also facilitates the exchange of ideas and opinions, and help children learn about diversity while also strengthening their own sense of self. Our students are imaginative, they love to do new things and they are engaged in every school project. They will be more than happy to start a new school year, full of possibilities thanks to your support.

Thank you in advance for your generosity and kindness.

Ms. Fierro

Mrs. Fierro O.C. Johnson Elementary School Grades 3-5
