Celebrating 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 dancers at my school are a phenomenal group of 6th-8th graders who train daily to hone their skills. My dance team declares themselves as dance prospects seeking to enter performing arts high schools. These learners are physically expressive, socially conscious, and creative individuals. As a community, we view education and art-making as tools for empowerment, self-reflection, and social change. Our annual black history festival and competition is a valued event in our school community.
Help students embrace the performing arts aspects of black history and competitiveness by providing costumes.
Every year our students choreograph and perform in a beautifully in the black history show competition! It is a very exciting time of the year that the students look forward to all through the first half of the school year. Each grade level participates in grade level performances which covers all ballet, jazz, liturgical, and hip hop. Give the students new costumes to align with their creative ideas, choreography and further their excitement with the project of putting black history on display. The students will be so excited to incorporate these new costumes into their performance.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
