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

I am creating a club at school that will allow my students to meet up to make blankets, mittens, hats, scarves, etc. All items will be donated to Danbury area homeless shelters, women's shelters, schools, and food pantries. As the season changes and temperatures drop, the need for warm outerwear is in demand.

Not only will this club provide hats and mittens to the needy in the community, but the club will also be an educational space to teach students the life skills of knitting and crocheting.

I am looking for materials to start the club: crochet hooks, knitting needles, regular needles, yarn, and knitting looms/machines. Having these items will help students make the clothing and blankets.
