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 Pre-Kindergarten through Second graders who are full of energy. They visit the music class once per week for a scheduled special. Some also come during recess for fun or to mentor younger students.

The students have adapted to the challenges thrown at them this past year and are not only surviving but thriving in this very different environment.

My students come from very diverse backgrounds. They love reading diverse books, participating singing as well as playing with musical instruments and are very curious. There are over 600 students in our school!

I have a large population of English language learners. They are eager to learn and enjoy every minute of it. My students are both general and special education students. They are all amazing kids!

My Project

Choral Risers are essential for safe and proper performing. Our young musicians will begin their musical performance journey’s with Winter and Spring performance and require safe equipment to perform on. These risers will give us space to spread out and let every child be seen. They are also easy to store and set up/clean up. They will stay in our building for our young musicians to perform on as well as use for school ensembles. Creating successful performance etiquette starts with have the proper equipment to create a safe and professional environment.
