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

The Crochet Club on our high school campus illustrates the old stereotypes of art that are very much not true, crochet is not just for old people. Crochet Club seeks to provide a space for those new to crocheting to learn and those who have experience to talk with like-minded artists.

During Crochet Club meetings, members share new techniques and crochet patterns members have created.

With the crochet hooks and yarn they can start on the first day of our club this fall. After introducing the patterns, the club officers assist members who need help with their pieces.

Although there are people of all different skill levels in Crochet Club, most members are beginners.

Our goal is for each member to learn crochet to help with their social emotional needs and also learn a hobby which they carry with them for a lifetime. As the crochet club builds we will strat reaching out to our community to make hats, scarfs and blankets for those in need.
