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 Students
My school is a multicultural inner city school full of 700+ ambitious students. Most of my students love to watch and/or participate in our school performing arts. But as the school was being remodeled, the stage was completely eliminated and our performing arts program suffered.
Given the socioeconomic status of the area, most of my students haven't had the opportunity to participate in performing arts programs outside of school.
And given the cultural diversity in my school's area, most of my students aren't even aware of the performing arts programs that are offered.
This is my fourth year at my current school and I'm slowly rebuilding my school's performing arts program. I started with an honor choir, and I've slowly added dance and drama. And hopefully by creating a network of support, it will enable my performing arts program to grow even more.
My Project
My school is in need of new handheld microphones. As the school was remodeled, the auditorium was eliminated. Slowly I, the music teacher, have been adding new equipment to create a makeshift stage that can be set up in the gym. The gym is very large so we need microphones that will signal hundreds of feet away as we gather for various events.
Microphones are used on a daily basis within the school.
Honor choir musical performances and seasonal skits, a yearly school wide talent show, special extracurricular presentations, weekly class presentations, and daily Rise and Shine assemblies. So please, help me give my students the gift of sound.
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
