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

My students love hands-on creative projects, and I want to provide them with an opportunity to design their own beautiful, calming decor. Through this project, they will transform mason jars into enchanting light-up displays using pressed flowers and fairy lights.

This project will not only spark creativity but also help students create a sense of peace and personal expression.

Whether displayed in our classroom or taken home, these glowing jars will serve as a soothing visual reminder of their creativity and the calming power of art.

With your support, my students will have access to high-quality materials to bring their artistic visions to life. Plus, since this project helps create a peaceful and mindful environment, your donation will be matched—making an even greater impact!

Thank you for helping my students craft their own little moments of tranquility!
