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 lighting scaffolds and portable stage are crucial components for expanding our current stage and enhancing our students' learning experiences in numerous ways:

With proper lighting, students will be able to showcase their talents and creativity on stage with clarity and impact.

This fosters a supportive environment for their artistic expression and boosts confidence.

Utilizing a portable stage allows students to experience performing arts in a professional setting, preparing them for future endeavors in theater, music, public speaking, and other related fields.

Working together to set up and manage the lighting scaffolds and stage promotes teamwork and collaboration among students. They will learn to communicate effectively, delegate tasks, and problem-solve collectively.

By acquiring lighting scaffolds and a portable stage, we aim to provide our students with the necessary resources to explore and excel in performing arts and related activities. We strive to empower our students by offering them a platform to express themselves creatively and confidently through performances, presentations, and events. Creating a dynamic learning environment with professional-grade equipment encourages student engagement, fosters a sense of pride in their work, and cultivates a deeper appreciation for the arts.

Our students are incredibly diverse, talented, and resilient individuals. They come from varied backgrounds and bring unique perspectives to our school community. What sets them apart is their unwavering passion for learning, their eagerness to explore new avenues of expression, and their dedication to supporting one another. Despite facing challenges, our students continually demonstrate remarkable creativity, kindness, and determination, making them truly special members of our school family. With the proper resources and support, they have the potential to achieve greatness and positively impact the world around them.

Mx. Rodrigues will only receive their materials if this project is fully funded by July 27.
