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 so special. They have very little and require very little. They are beyond grateful for anything that is given to them including education, supplies and most importantly, love.

They come in with smiles on their faces every day, eager to learn and grow.

They live in a low income, tough neighborhood but that never stops them from entering the classroom each day with excitement, joy, and a willingness and determination to learn and do their best. They truly are remarkable kids!

My Project

1 out of 4 students have reported being bullied in their lifetime while in school. This program will work with students, teachers and administration to end this statistic.

This program will allow students to take place in a life changing experience promoting a positive & supportive school culture & environment.

Students will partake in lessons and experiences created in accordance with the Common Core Curriculum Standards, extraordinary hand-made instruments and sound effect devices constructed from found objects and a final performance.

"Sticks and stones may break your bones, and words WILL hurt you!" This exposure and understanding is the whole purpose of the program.
