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

I am writing this proposal for my high school students who participate in our music program. Our high school serves a large urban area and has a high percentage of students from low income homes. Our student body is culturally diverse and provides our school community an opportunity to experience languages and customs from many cultures as we interact every day.

Many of my students do not have the opportunity to explore and experience high quality music instruction outside of the school setting.

It is exciting to see them grow in their knowledge and excitement of music. Many of our students will continue their participation in the music program for 3 or 4 years of high school.

My Project

We will use the art trees to display choir pictures to advertise our choir program. We need our students body to see that the students in the choir are participating in a program that is exciting and meets a variety of learning needs.

Pictures speak a thousand words.

The pictures that we use on the art trees will show the enthusiasm of our students and the high quality of our program. Students inspire each other when they see each other excelling and enjoying a challenging learning environment as they work together. We know that this will inspire other talented students to join our program.
