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

Help my students become lifelong learners with this project.

With this heat press and supplies, my students will create and design their own t-shirts to lift up their self-esteem and motivation to continue coming to school.

Students in our district use a program for mental health daily. My students’ health and safety always come first. With this project funded, my students will create t-shirts to enjoy during the school year and during the summer. They will use their iPads to create and design their unique t-shirts. They will see how the sublimation process works. This project will lift their spirits during the last few weeks of school and in the summer.
