We need lots of musical instruments and art supplies to sing, dance, paint, and write our way through 8th grade Spanish class.

This project is fully funded
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.
About My Students
The student submitting this project are part of our school's dual language program. Three of them are native Spanish speakers and one is a native English speaker. Their names are Lizbeth, Christina, Jessica, and Maya, and they are in the seventh grade. These students are thinking globally and acting locally, and they are ready to help make our school a better place.
These girls are community builders who want to help make their school a better place. They are involved in many activities on campus and believe in cultural awareness, unity, and kindness. There is a lot of girl power in this group!
My students are studying how art reflects values. They are using their Language Arts skills to write grants that reflect their own personal values. These girls value art, music, global awareness, Spanish language, multiculturalism, and fun, and they hope to use their persuasive writing to convince you to support their grant that provides resources that celebrate Latino culture and Spanish language. In preparing this project students are using 21st century skills of critical thinking, collaboration, and communication. Thank you for taking the time to read their grant. If you value music, fun, and global community, this is the project for you!
In Their Own Words
The goal we are trying to accomplish is to buy art and music supplies for Mr.P,'s Spanish class. He is the 8th grade two-way immersion teacher. We want to provide thesupplies we need to learn Spanish vocabulary and language while we study Spanish speaking cultures from around the world.. Every Friday, Mr. P. plays the accordion, and students join in. If we have more instruments, we can all play the songs from other cultures. This would help our students have fun while they learn, and would make our school and community better. We hope you will fund this project.
We will bring this project to life by partnering with you. Together, we will fund the things Mr. P. needs to make his TWI class even more fun and interactive. In addition to writing this grant and spreading the word, we will make sure the supplies get to Mr. P. and that the students take good care of them.
This project is very important because it will make our Spanish class more engaging, and your help means the world to us!. Once we get all our supplies we need, we will be doing educational and fun projects. With these projects we can learn Spanish and know about other cultures. It´ll make our class stronger and smarter. We want to get into good colleges and find good jobs, and being bilingual will be an advantage for us.. Help our school become better, stronger, and smarter. Thank you!
