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

The materials and supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly where everything will go. I just need your help getting them through the door! This year I am working with two teachers to bring an "arts and crafts" enrichment to students. The supplies I am requesting - from embroidery to crochet to clay - will allow students to explore their interests and spark their creativity! Our students want to explore many different mediums of arts and crafts and we want to make sure they are able to have the resources they deserve.
