Let's Light Up the Sky!

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

Last year our cheer team participated in the Light Up Christmas Parade! We had a phenomenal experience and most of my cheerleaders had never been in a parade before. One of the criteria was to have lights on the floats and the athletes. We were unable to provide lights for the athletes.

Our float was amazing and well lit!

The athletes did an amazing job performing! The light up necklaces and headbands will provide each athlete with the confidence to perform while allowing them to meet all of the criteria standards for this year’s parade. Participating in this year's Light Up Christmas Parade with light up necklaces and headbands will fulfill our Technology and Art criteria for this year's STEAM float.
