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 Students

Our high school has been the birthplace of the Fashion Industry since 1926. Every student that has graduated from our school may have not continued into the fashion path yet has been prepared for the continuing road to college and in the past the workforce.

Our mission of teaching the arts and the industry of fashion remains unmatched by any other US high school.

Our students are super talented and committed to their artistic dreams. They continue to be NYC residents that come from financially challenged families and despite these obstacles, prove to be resilient and driven.

My Project

Students that are majoring in Fashion need different kinds of school supplies. While regular students may be required to have a notebook and pencil, our students need additional materials to thrive.

These essential tools are Scissors and Sewing Kits.

The same kits that your mom or grandmother had when they needed to mend a shirt or sock, is what our students are in great need of. We consider our students special because they want to become the next fashion designers yet without these essentials, it can be essentially difficult! Please donate!
