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

Our art classroom is a space of creativity, exploration, and learning. However, we currently face a significant challenge that impacts the flow of our lessons and limits the potential of our students. We are seeking your support to acquire a portable sink for our art classroom, which will empower our students to engage more deeply in their artistic pursuits while also promoting hygiene and efficiency.

With a portable sink in our classroom, students will no longer need to leave the room to wash their hands or clean their art materials.

This simple addition will save valuable class time and enhance the overall learning experience.

The primary beneficiaries of this project will be our students. The availability of a sink within the classroom will encourage proper hygiene practices, enabling students to clean their hands and materials efficiently. This will lead to a healthier environment for artistic exploration.
