Celebrating 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.
This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.
My Project
I am captivated by the resilience and potential of my students, especially as we prepare to host the 8th grade dance/ prom to celebrate both newcomers and graduates. Each one brings a unique spark to our classroom, enriching our community with diverse perspectives and experiences.
The resources we're requesting will play a pivotal role in nurturing their growth and fostering a sense of belonging as we decorate and host these special events.The EMART Backdrop Stand kit will provide a versatile tool for creative expression, allowing students to design and execute various photo projects to adorn our dance venue.
This hands-on experience will not only enhance their technical skills but also encourage collaboration and problem-solving as they work together to set up and execute their vision for the dance and prom decor.
Our goal for this project is to empower our students to explore their creativity and express themselves confidently as they prepare for these memorable events. By providing them with the necessary tools and support, we aim to cultivate a sense of pride over their contributions to the dance and prom, fostering pride and a spirit of celebration among all attendees.
What makes our students truly special is their resilience and determination to succeed despite facing various challenges. Many of them are newcomers, navigating the complexities of a new language and culture, while others are preparing to graduate and embark on new journeys. Despite these obstacles, they approach each day with courage and a willingness to learn. It is our privilege to provide them with the resources and support they need to shine brightly as we celebrate their accomplishments and milestones together.
