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

Art education plays a vital role in fostering critical thinking, problem solving, and emotional expression at a young age. By providing my first grade students with access to quality supplies, we aim to foster creativity, confidence, and personal growth. Many of the students come form low-income families and do not have access to art supplies at home, making it difficult to engage in enriching activities that nurture their creativity. The school budge is limited for classroom materials, leaving art programs unfunded. Providing art supplies for my students will ensure they have the resources needed to thrive in a creative an supportive environment, developing vital skills. Please support my vision and allow these kids to learn in a fun and engaging way!
