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 a group of aspiring, young thespians who have learned that “the show must go on.” In the world of Covid, my students' learned that "the show must go online." We all share the common mission to grow our theatre program, increase the quality of our performances, and create a community that loves the arts.

My students are so committed to the work and collaboration they do.

There is really no business like show business.

My students are courteous, committed, helpful, and safe. I feel that they are also some of the most deserving. Please show my students that our society values the arts.

My Project

Every year my theatre students work really hard to take theatrical performances to Arizona's Thespian Festival in hopes to bring home a superior rating. In order to make things equitable, students who compete cannot wear costumes and must wear black attire from head to toe.

Please help my students get the proper shoes so they can compete at Thespian Festival and not risk the chance of getting disqualified.

Every year, my students who sometimes have difficulty getting the required attire expected of The Thespian Festival will come and literally use permanent marker to make their shoes fit the all black policy. I appreciate the commitment and sacrifice, but this project is about them not having to make that sacrifice.
