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

In our Spanish Cultural Club, students gather to celebrate the rich traditions of Spanish-speaking countries. For many, it’s an opportunity to strengthen their connection to their heritage while also learning a new language. The club fosters creativity, curiosity, and pride in cultural identity while promoting teamwork and mutual respect.

To make our Spanish Cultural Club truly enriching, I am requesting resources that will allow students to immerse themselves in the culture while building Spanish language skills.

The items we are requesting include:

Art supplies (paint, brushes, paper, markers, and clay) for projects like papel picado, molas, and cultural murals.

Spanish books (picture books, beginner chapter books, and bilingual stories) to help students learn the language through reading and storytelling.

Games (Spanish language board games, flashcards, and interactive learning tools) to make learning Spanish vocabulary and grammar fun and engaging.

Cooking supplies for hands-on cultural exploration through traditional dishes like empanadas, tamales, and arroz con leche.

Music and multimedia resources to explore traditional songs, dances, and stories from Spanish-speaking countries.

A display board and decorations to showcase students' projects and host cultural exhibitions.

These resources will provide students with meaningful opportunities to learn the Spanish language while celebrating the diverse traditions of Spanish-speaking cultures.

Your donation will empower my students to develop their creativity, cultural awareness, and language skills. By supporting this project, you are helping to create a space where students can feel connected to their heritage, gain confidence in learning a new language, and proudly share their work with the school community. Together, we can inspire them to become compassionate, culturally aware global citizens.
