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 after-school club is dedicated to fostering friendships and creativity among students while providing a relaxing and enjoyable environment. We are requesting materials for bracelet-making to engage students in a hands-on activity that promotes social bonding, mindfulness, and artistic expression.

This project will help students unwind after a long school day, strengthen friendships, and develop fine motor skills through crafting.

We need various bracelet-making supplies to make this project successful, including colorful embroidery floss, beads in assorted shapes and colors, elastic cords and thread, clasps and closures, and storage containers for organizing materials. These materials will allow students to explore their creativity and craft personalized bracelets for themselves and their friends, reinforcing the values of kindness, teamwork, and relaxation. With your generosity, we can provide students with high-quality materials to make beautiful, lasting bracelets that symbolize their friendships and creativity. Your donation will directly contribute to a positive, enriching experience that helps students relax, express themselves, and build strong social connections.

Thank you for considering our project! Your support will bring joy and creativity to our after-school club, one bracelet at a time.
