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 Project
Ever try to talk to someone in a busy, noisy place? At our school, music and other sound recordings are going on at the same time as classes are trying to do quiet activities.
Having a soundproof or at least an area where we can dampen the sound is essential for our students to create podcasts, videos, and play music.
We are a STEAM school, we encourage innovative, creative multimedia projects as well as have many activities in music where the students are playing instruments. We have a Latin band that also practices. All of these activities are done either in the makerspace or in the music room which are right next to regular classrooms and counseling spaces.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
