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 eager to make music!

The majority of my students live in the immediate neighborhood, which is a high-poverty, high-crime urban area in CA.

Our school is a Title 1 school, our student population is primarily Hispanic and African American and many are faced with several challenges both in and out of the classroom. Special Education, English Language Learners, and Gifted Students are all mainstreamed into music classes.

The music room is a place where students feel safe and are able to be creative and most importantly find motivation within themselves to be successful in school and in the community.

My Project

Help give my students a PA system for their upcoming concerts!

My band, orchestra and rock band students are working very hard to put together their first official in-person concert this year and and having a proper sound system will help elevate their performance.

Due to COVID this year, we have been very limited on performance opportunities. We are excited to be able to showcase our hard work this year even if it has to be outdoors. The sound system will impact the overall experience.

The benefits of this project do not stop with this one performance! These products will help out inside the classroom, and will be used to ensure quality sound for our school assemblies and outdoor student body activities during lunch and after school!
