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 Students

Our students are unique in every sense. They are fearless and embrace new experiences with passion. They are enthusiastic and eager when presented with new opportunities to challenge themselves. It is at these moments that their talents and creativity shine. Our students are energetic leaders who strive to achieve their goals.

Despite the challenges of high poverty and crime, our students are exceptional.

Its their energy that inspires us teachers, parents and community to seek out experiences that will continue to foster their curiosity and their desire to go beyond the confines of their neighborhood to see the possibilities that are out there for them.

My Project

Through music and performing arts, our students will learn important lessons on collaboration, commitment and responsibility. With the help of quality sound coming from the Eurolive Active speakers, students voices will be heard loud and clear to everyone in the audience.

The story of The Lion King will come to life and encourage every student to persevere, follow their dreams and honor their heritage.

With the use of the Audio-Technica hanging microphones, the ensemble will be free to dance, hold props without worrying about carrying a hand held microphone. Families will be proud to see their children in the spotlight. Thanks to Disney Musical in Schools we will have a musical theater production in our community for the first time.
