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

Our school is located at the base of South Mountain in Phoenix, Az. The school is labeled a Title I school. Our students are responsible, polite, and caring. They demonstrate their talents despite the lack of funds to support extracurricular programs such as band and choir. Our students continuously make the staff and their families proud by always aiming for success. They are leaders in and out of the classroom!

Our students show so much love for music which has made our program so successful and strong!

I am proud to work at a school where we love our students and community. Our school is also following the model of The Leader in Me where we teach our students that every single one of them is a leader in their life, education, and future.

My Project

VVLA prides itself on being a Leader in Me school! Through the Leader in Me program, students learn the qualities that makes us all leaders! Over the course of the program, they learn how to excel as presenters. With the use of this portable PA system, they will learn how to become effective speakers in a safe, outdoor setting this upcoming school year!

With their safety in mind, I imagine many of our presentations will be taking place safely outdoors.

Help us provide them the safest way to grow as presenters!
