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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

My students are simply amazing! They are hard working, resilient, gritty, and determined. They are also laser focused on their education and their future. They are creative, artistic, and passionate about life.

My students deserve the chance to see themselves in college and future prosperous careers.

These materials will help us "Frame Our Future" and create vision boards to map out our success. The art supplies feed into their creativity. The scholarship books will provide a roadmap to college and career success. The cameras will enable us to take snapshots and document our projects.
