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

Students here at our Middle School are excitable and passionate about learning. Our kids do not shrink from the rigorous studies and high expectations of their teachers. Metz is culturally diverse and our kids are hungry to learn and to expand their experiences in middle school and beyond. The students here are resilient and not defined by the socioeconomic and personal challenges present in many of our neighborhoods. Our school encourages participation in extracurricular activities regularly because we believe it is an essential part of helping children develop their personalities, cut down on emotional stress, and enhance social or academic skills that will benefit them in the future

An after-school ukulele club would give our kids a safe place to learn a new skill and give them a great global experience.

Your support of our club will promote music, humanities, cultural empathy, and global awareness. Please consider donating to our project as we seek to enrich our students' academic and personal growth.
