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

This project is dedicated to nurturing the creative spirit of students by providing them with the necessary art supplies to express themselves artistically. In today's fast-paced world, fostering creativity is essential for personal growth and development. Unfortunately, many students lack access to basic art materials, limiting their ability to explore and express their innermost thoughts and emotions. Students write in their writing journals every morning and make a picture to go along with their work.

With your generous support, we aim to equip these students with markers, erasers, erasable pen refills, and erasable pens, enabling them to unleash their imagination and creativity.

The items I am requesting are:

1.)Markers: A vibrant array of colors to inspire creativity and artistic expression.

2.)Erasers: High-quality erasers to correct mistakes and encourage experimentation without fear of failure.

3.)Erasable Pen Refills: Refills for erasable pens to ensure continuous use and sustainability.

4.)Erasable Pens: Tools for students to sketch, doodle, and write freely, promoting fluid expression.
