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

The Tech Cafe (our school Makerspace) is known for creating powerful student paintings that call for social activism. We place these works throughout the school and on our Instagram to advocate for animal rights and LGBTQ+ pride, to fight against vaping and marijuana, and to give strategies to promote mental health.

Canvases are also used by students to create social action board games.

For example, this year, students created harrowing journeys from South America to the United States to promote an understanding of what our refugee/asylum-seeking students went through before arriving at our school.
