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.

Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I plan to enhance the mental health of my students with the Lastar therapy lamps. My classroom lacks windows so having these lights will enhance my students' learning experience overall. We have limited cleaning supplies and art supplies we can order from the district. Gaining these lights, art supplies, and cleaning items for my students will mean that their art experience is intentional in every way. I have seven years of experience in art education and this is my first year teaching classes with 35 students on my roster. Thankyou so much for taking time to invest in my students success!
