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

To ensure more ART in our school, students will participate in an art enrichment series. Funding this project means 150 students across 4th and 5th grade will have the materials needed to engage in high interest art experiences.

Students will engage in hands-on, experiential learning as they learn about various artists, art forms, and integrated academics.

The opportunity to access arts programming strengthens community ties, encourages creativity and vulnerability, builds the cultural competencies of our students, promotes empathy, and improves individual well-being. Often, the schools with the most robust art offerings have families with the most means, and arts education is supported by families and community members. Our program is different because our school is situated in an area of the city, county, and state with a LOW equity index based on 32 indicators in the areas of accessibility, economy, education, livability, and environmental health.

Your support elevates the offerings we can provide for students on a long-term basis. Funding these projects will help students continue to access high-quality arts-infused instruction in today’s world of budget cuts and inflation. Help us continue to support our students’ development and access. Donors like you make this work happen in our community!
