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

"Wear Gratitude like a cloak and it will feed every corner of your life"

- Rumi

My students will be creating a "Gratitude Cloak" that will be kept at the entrance to the school during the week before Thanksgiving. Students will be encouraged to write something they are grateful for and pin in on the cloak. We are collaborating with indigenous tribes and it will be sent around the world afterwards- from Australia to Pine Ridge Reservation during the remainder of the year as a living creative project. The cloak will eventually make its way back to our students.
