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 Project

This project aims at helping our music students reach their potential by encouraging them to power through the second semester. Snacks will be used as incentives and prizes for games and review, and the post-in notes and dividers will ensure that our choral students have their binders organized and ready for concert use.

Our music classes are open to ALL students, no matter their English proficiency or educational label.

Many of our music classes are technology based, so the usb wall chargers will help to ensure that all students have a charged Chromebook - along with usb cords from a previous donors choose project. And of course, we cannot forget restocking the tissue supply in a never ending stream of tissues needed, especially during these winter months.
