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

I am the after-school coordinator at my school and I got so excited when a couple of teachers wanted to start a Musical/Drama/Theater Club. We have always offered as many different programs for after school as possible. I am super excited about a program like this for the first time at school. I even want to get a role, but not sure the music teacher will give me a role besides a tree.

The idea of a theater program at my school sounds so great to me.

If you can find the money in your budget to help out we would be so appreciative of it. There are so many times I think about what students need and I think a big variety of things helps reach every student.
