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

My students are inner city kids with awesome personalities. They love to socialize and learn new things. Most of all they love music. They love to dance. They love to sing. They love to act. Music is the core of their lives right now and I want to continue to foster that and allow them to grow their love for music. They love to showcase their skills and feel the adrenaline of performing on stage for others to watch.

My Project

My students love music. They love to dance, sing, perform, and listen. With this speaker, I will be able to hold our version of “American Idol.” The kids rehearse for weeks and have a final show that includes parents and friends to watch and listen. Some of the kids write their own songs. Some sing with perfect pitch. Why should they sing through a small ripped speaker that barely works and doesn’t give their voice the proper amplification it deserves? These kids should be able to blast their talents. They should be heard from all corners of the auditorium. This speaker would allow this to happen. Help build their confidence!
