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

Acquiring a 10"x 10" canopy tent for our middle school art students is crucial for creating a dynamic outdoor gallery space at local art fairs. This practical addition will shield their artwork from the elements and provide a professional setting for them to showcase their creations. Beyond protection, the tent offers an invaluable learning experience, teaching students the practical aspects of presenting and selling their art, and enhancing their entrepreneurial and communication skills.

Our project's primary goal is to empower students by fostering pride and accomplishment through active participation in fundraising.

The funds generated will directly benefit the art program, ensuring a sustainable supply of materials for future projects. This initiative not only promotes financial independence but also cultivates a sense of community and teamwork among the students as they collectively work towards a shared objective.

What sets our students apart is their unique blend of creativity, tenacity, and passion for the arts. The canopy tent symbolizes more than just protection for their artwork; it signifies the community's support for their creative endeavors, providing an environment where their talents can thrive and allowing the broader community to witness the vibrancy of their artistic expressions.
