My students need white and black plastic fedora hats to deliver a more accurate, heartfelt performance of Michael Jackson repertoire. They also need a pencil sharpener, pack of highlighters, and black binders for rehearsal.

Celebrating 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
Our school is a Title 1 public middle school where students come from a variety of economic, societal, and family backgrounds. Many of our students are bilingual, and on free or reduced lunch. Our choir is a great representation of the diversity at our campus.
Our middle school choir room is a safe learning environment where success, excellence, friendship, and lifelong memories happen, no matter the challenges these students face every day at home.
Our school is consistently one of the top-performing schools in the district, when it comes to academics and fine arts, every year. This is directly related to our dedicated teachers, high expectations, and commitment to our students.
My Project
Our choir needs black and white fedoras to give a more accurate, heartfelt performance of the King of Pop. Our school has undergone many changes this year, and their entire Spring Pop Show is dedicated to this theme, hence the song "Man in the Mirror." My students relate to Michael Jackson's music, and are drawing a positive, encouraging message from his song, "Man in the Mirror." To help get this message across to the community in their Spring Pop Show, they requested black and white fedoras, similar to their icon.
In our Title 1, urban public school, students use music as an outlet to persevere through their daily struggles at home, and it gives them a reason to come to school each day.
They will also need a pack of highlighters, a pencil sharpener, and black performance binders, which will facilitate music analysis, daily rehearsals, and performances. These can be used for the remainder of the year, and on to next year as well.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
