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

Our students have a Cinema Studies course that they do each day where they use cinema to discuss politics, race, class, gender and so much more. They love the course and write powerful essays analyzing the visual texts and making arguments about them.

The sound system we used in the Cinema Studies class is broken and we need to replace it so that the sound on the larger screen does not need to come from the computer.

We would be so grateful if you would consider donating. Thank you, in advance, for your consideration.
