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

Kids get excited about art when they have access to real, professional-feeling materials. This increases their interest in creative activities and encourages long-term participation. Better materials allow students to fully explore their artistic ideas without limitations. Vibrant colors, smooth application, and durable supplies help them bring their visions to life with confidence.

My goal is to promote equity and opportunity.

Not all students have access to quality art supplies at home. By providing them in the classroom, every child, regardless of background, gets an equal chance to explore and develop their artistic abilities.
