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

Often times my students do not know how to express their bottled-up emotions and frustrations. Even though my school has SEL protocols in place, sometimes they need a little extra to get them through those hurdles. Please help me provide an outlet for releasing these emotions and frustrations. Allowing them to create art that they can share with others or keep for themselves will give them the opportunity to decompress and continue on with their day during the school year. I hope that you can sponsor this project with art kits and supplies, such as canvas boards, bracelet kits, paint markers, and more, and help me support my students.
