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 Students

We have reached the last dried out marker! Our art supplies are running out! We need crayons, markers, colored pencils, glue, scissors and paper to put together amazing projects for the rest of the school year!

I am an art teacher in the South Bronx in a K-8 school.

Our art budgets are truly at a minimum and I service many classes of students that love to create amazing art projects. I work very hard to align my projects with the curriculum my teachers are currently teaching in class. It can be very difficult to keep up with these demands. My students LOVE art class, as it is a time to express their creativity and most importantly HAVE FUN!!!

My Project

Many of my students don't get to work with art supplies outside of schools. I can't tell you how many tell me they don't even have a pack of crayons at home! I think it is so important to offer them as many opportunities at school as possible to work with fun materials from crayons to oil pastels and colored chalk.

This project would not only get me through the rest of this year, it would also see me through next year as well.

I have seen many colleagues share wonderful stories about donors choose and its amazing group of donors and followers. I would be so appreciative of any help with this project.
