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.” 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.

These 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

Once upon a time, we were allowed to hold class in the Performing Arts Center. This PAC had the most amazing equipment including a new sound system. Low and behold, we were moved to a room that was once a black box theatre. The site was a disaster of modern classroom design and it was stripped of any remnants of when it used to be a black box theatre.

Help restore the gift of sound by helping us get this wireless Ion Wireless Speaker.

Now that our program is flourishing, it is time we restore this room back to it's original form. This speaker will come in handy during our Musical Theatre unit and when we compete with songs at competition. We can only do this with the help of believers like you.
