My Project

Our school is having a Latin dance competition as a way to celebrate Hispanic Heritage Month. My students are so excited to participate! Although they are quite nervous, they are being brave and pushing themselves outside of their comfort zones. I am so proud of them!

Imagine how proud they will be if they had actual costumes!

This would be a dream! They will never forget this experience ever. What a way to increase their self confidence! Imagine how this experience would and could motivate future endeavors. Please help make this a once in a lifetime experience for my student with special needs.
