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 students are a full spectrum with a diverse campus in race, culture, socioeconomic status and interests. Our campus serves approximately 635 students, grades 7th thru 8th and between the ages of 12 to 14. Ethnically our students are approximately 87% minorities with 45% being Latin American, 26% African American, and 13% Asian and Pacific Islander. 25% of our students are currently an English Language Learner. At our school, we have 10% of our population receiving services from our Special Education department. We have students coming from all over the district including many who are also English language learners. Our students come from a variety of cultures and socio-economic levels which also means that many students don't have options outside of school.
Extracurricular Physical Education options for our students need to be supported to encourage a lifetime love of healthy living.
My Project
Our step team at this site is and has been award winning. The students love being apart of the after-school team. The learn to dance, express themselves and love the art of movement. With the space after school being irregular for us to practice moving the source of sound is daunting. We need a cart to help haul gear so we can take quality speakers into where space is available for the day. Let us focus on feeling the beat over how are we going to get set up enough to practice
Please amplify our step team with more freedom of movement with a mobile cart and portable microphone to roll into place!
With a mobile cart, we can place heavy quality speakers on wheels and have a portable microphone for the coach to dance, walk around and speak over the sound. Our award-winning team is more than deserving to have an upgrade in focus on honing their craft!
More than half of 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
