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 students and their families are really special. We have a large school, with an ethnically and socioeconomically diverse population, and we work hard to create opportunities for our community to get together to share their unique experiences and engage in and celebrate learning.

With a majority of the families in our school living in poverty, we try to create innovative learning experiences that build our students' repertoire.

We want to offer students at our Title I public school the same sorts of experience that students in rich public schools receive. We are focused on social justice and educational equity.

My Project

My students would like to get new supplies for our school's instruments so that when they break, our music teacher does not need to spend his own money on supplies. My students chose this project because they value dedication. This project reflects their values because they see how dedicated our music teacher is to the program and to all of his students.

He uses his own money to buy strings and mouthpieces to repair instruments that have been broken or damaged over time.

Our music teacher wants to give all of his students the experience of playing music. So, my students want to help him out any way that they can.
