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

As we strive to nurture creativity and artistic expression among our students, we are excited to launch this project seeking support in acquiring photo printers for our school.

In today's digital age, photography has become an integral part of artistic expression.

However, we are a Title I school and many of our students lack access to the tools and resources necessary to explore this medium fully. By introducing photo printers into our art classrooms, we aim to bridge this gap and provide our students with the opportunity to engage in hands-on learning experiences that will enrich their artistic skills and broaden their creative horizons.

With photo printers readily available, our students will be able to print out the photos of their PBL projects and how they shine at their final project presentation. Those invaluable photos are the building blocks of their education journey. These printers will serve as invaluable tools for sparking creativity and fostering a deeper appreciation for the art of photography.

Your support will make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students, inspiring them to pursue their artistic dreams and unlock their full potential. Thank you for your time and consideration!
