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

My students are preparing to perform the Selena play based off the movie Selena from her life. If we have these materials, it will help us perform better and our audience will be able to hear them more efficiently. We need the mics to help the students perform and the audience to be able to hear and the radio to be able to perform in the cafeteria we can have a true production since we don't have an auditorium. Please help us, we thank you so much. These materials will help the students prepare for the bigger version of Selena in December and I am super excited for my students to have what they need to be successful as I know they can and will. This is why the Power Glow 300 Battery Powered Bluetooth Speaker and wireless microphone system are needed.
