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

As a teacher in a low-income, high poverty school district, I see my students faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. One hundred percent of the students receive free breakfast and lunch due to their socioeconomic status. Despite the many challenges they face, they come to school ready and eager to learn, to be loved, to be accepted, and to be in a safe place.

My students need art supplies so they can be creative and learn different skills and techniques in art.

We live in a rural community and the students do not have the opportunity for an art class. I want to provide them with art lessons that make connections with the standards they are leaning.

My Project

These materials will be a fun and creative way for students to express themselves through their artwork. Working in the arts helps students with their creativity, language skills and social skills. By donating to our project, you will help children learn essential skills like shapes and patterns while also developing decision making skills. You will ultimately help these students increase their academic achievement. Creating artwork will engage all students while boosting their critical thinking skills and also, connecting students with their culture as well as with the world. These are all critical abilities our future leaders need to develop.
