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

My students possess great skill and talent, and I'm greatly invested in having them reach their creative potential. They have also expressed interest in expanding their skills. I will use these materials to challenge and create new and exciting activities.

With your contribution, students will be better equipped to create more elaborate and engaging pieces of art throughout the school year.

These art materials will help us facilitate that.

By donating to our project, you will not only help to improve and increase their artistic skills, you will greatly contribute to their personal and academic growth as well.

Mr. Acosta Beginning with Children Charter School 2 - Middle Grades 6-8

Equity Focus

At this school, more than 50% of students are Black, Latino, and/or Native American, and more than 50% come from low-income households. Learn how your donation to this school supports a more equitable education.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
