Help me give my students hygiene items, classroom storage, and basic dance essentials they need to feel confident and comfortable in dance class and on stage!
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 project will help to start the school year strong with all of our essentials! I have included personal hygiene items like deodorant, bandaids, and feminine products because some of our students lack the financial resources to maintain their school supplies through the year, and often are not prepared for the daily upkeep of personal hygiene that comes with being in middle school.
With no real performance space at our school, we are almost always traveling to perform, which makes carrying and organizing all of our performance essentials difficult.
I have included two duffel bags and a collapsible rolling wagon. I have also included basics for performances like hairspray, bobby pins, hair ties and the glow in the dark tape so dancers can see their spot. Performing is one thing my students missed out on during COVID. We've had a few performances since and every time, my students get more confident on stage.
I only have one big speaker, plus two smaller ones. The speaker will help create a space where students can collaborate together easier and more often, something students were lacking during and after the COVID-19 pandemic. With so many students dancing in one room, it often gets hot and stuffy. The fan will help to keep the dancers safe and cool!
The storage bins will help to clear clutter and organize dance costumes in a way that's easy for the students to find and to make sure they are staying in great condition. Items like foam blocks, tennis balls and spot markers, help to provide a wider variety of exercises and activities for students in the dance classroom keeping them moving and helping their physical and mental health. I included leggings and shorts, so students who cannot afford activewear can still participate without worry.
More than half of students from low‑income households
