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

Our students are on a mission to spread kindness in our school and community! Through this community service project, they will use art supplies to create uplifting posters that promote kindness and positivity. These posters can be displayed in our community to inspire others to show empathy, respect, and compassion.

In addition to the posters, students will also make kindness bracelets and necklaces to share with their 8th-grade buddies, friends, family, or even a future friend they see sitting on a buddy bench at our school.

These small tokens of kindness will serve as daily reminders to treat others with care and encouragement.

By supporting this project, you will help provide the necessary art materials, including paint sticks and beads, so our students can bring their community service vision of spreading kindness to life. Your generosity will empower them to use their creativity to make a real impact—one kind act at a time!

Thank you for helping us create a more kind and compassionate community!
