Your contributions brought vibrant energy and cultural depth to our middle school music program. Because of you, students were able to explore the rhythms, traditions, and artistry of Latin American music in meaningful and hands-on ways.\r\n\r\nThe hand drums became an instant favorite in our classroom—students eagerly used them to learn rhythmic patterns from various Latin styles, from cumbia to salsa. They took great pride in discovering how percussion connects music, movement, and community across cultures. The Mexican decorations transformed our space into a colorful celebration of heritage and created an immersive environment for our Hispanic Heritage Month activities, helping students feel both the joy and respect that this music inspires.\r\n\r\nAlthough our mini sombrero hats weren't used during this year's celebration, they will be featured in future cultural showcases and performances as we continue to honor traditions from across the Spanish-speaking world. They'll serve as a fun and educational way to help students connect with the music and stories we study throughout the year.\r\n\r\nYour support doesn't just provide supplies—it builds bridges between cultures and inspires students to see themselves as global citizens through the universal language of music. Thank you for investing in our students' creativity, curiosity, and appreciation for cultural diversity.\r\n\r\nWith heartfelt gratitude,","fullyFundedDate":1752586501749,"projectUrl":"project/races-y-ritmos-roots-and-rhythms/9412834/","projectTitle":"Raíces y Ritmos (\"Roots and Rhythms\")","teacherDisplayName":"Mr. Thomas","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp8712626_orig.jpg?crop=1125,1125,x190,y0&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1747849215074","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/8712626"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_109418","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":470,"numTeachers":null,"percentFrplEligible":49,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":64,"percentWhite":7,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":12,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","gradesServed":"6 - 8","studentTeacherRatio":null,"demographicsDataSource":"MDR District Record","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":false,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":null},"inStateSupporters":28.6,"schoolId":109418,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Meridian Public Charter Middle School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Meridian Public Charter Middle School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/district-of-columbia/district-of-columbia-public-charter-school-board/meridian-public-charter-middle-school/109418"}
