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

This year my students have been able to perform some fantastic holiday presentations and wonderful grade-level musicals! I am so proud of the way my musicians continue to seize opportunities to grow and become more comfortable on stage!

The next step is making sure there are stage decorations that look as good as my students sound.

The backdrops requested in this donors choose are beautiful backdrops to support student performances, vivid with color and a perfect touch to stage setting. They are also of high quality materials and will last for multiple years of use.
