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

It's that time of year again when my students are getting ready to perform their middle school musical! The theater is a great way for students to express themselves in a safe and entertaining way. They will be performing Willy Wonka and the Chocolate Factory and need these materials to make the show come alive!

We are a low-income middle school with few funds for extracurricular activities.

Your donations will allow the students to become their characters and have the story come alive. These costumes and set pieces will benefit my drama classes as they will be building my sets, making my props, and helping with costumes and makeup.
