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

Now in our fourth year of musical productions, our elementary school students take on roles in the cast and stage crew to collaborate on an amazing performance each spring.

With the right tools and the right opportunity, our kids can make anything.

With drills and screws in hand, a stack of boards becomes the entrance to the Cave of Wonders or Ariel’s rock. A basic sewing machine and notions in the hands of a young sewist transform secondhand linens into a sea witch’s tentacles and a magic carpet. Thank you for making our stage magic possible!
