On Saturday, October 17, 2026, our students will make their grand debut at a major cultural celebration, performing for families, educators, and members of our school community. What an incredible way to begin their musical journey! For many of our students, this will be their first opportunity to perform at such a large event, and they are excited to share what they have been learning.\r\n\r\nThis celebration is much more than a performance. It honors cultural heritage, celebrates the beautiful traditions of Norteño music, and brings families and our community together through the universal language of music. Our students will be part of the event's entertainment, proudly sharing their talents while helping create lasting memories for everyone in attendance. Seeing children embrace their culture, develop confidence, and experience the joy of performing is something truly special.\r\n\r\nNone of this would have been possible without YOU, our wonderful sponsor. Your kindness has given our students more than musical instruments. You have given them an opportunity to discover their talents, build confidence, and become part of something bigger than themselves. As they take the stage on October 17, please know that your generosity will be heard in every note they play. From the bottom of our hearts, thank you for believing in our students, supporting cultural education, and helping us bring families and generations together through music. This performance is as much a celebration of your generosity as it is of our students! ❤️","fullyFundedDate":1786541810703,"projectUrl":"project/the-heartbeat-of-norteo-music/10355756/","projectTitle":"The Heartbeat of Norteño Music","teacherDisplayName":"Ms. Noyola","teacherPhotoUrl":"https://storage.donorschoose.net/dc_prod/images/teacher/profile/orig/tp4224926_orig.png?crop=1:1,smart&width=272&height=272&fit=bounds&auto=webp&t=1782670060315","teacherClassroomUrl":"classroom/4224926"}],"pageName":"schoolpage_40823","usesDonorsChoose":true,"infoPageType":"school","demographicsInfo":{"numStudents":514,"numTeachers":25,"percentFrplEligible":86,"percentAsian":0,"percentBlack":0,"percentWhite":0,"percentIndigenous":0,"percentLatinx":99,"showFreeAndReducedPriceLunchInfo":true,"showDemographicsInfo":true,"sourceTooltipString":"the National Center for Education Statistics","percentHawaiianImputed":0,"percentMultiracialImputed":0,"gradesServed":"Pre-K - 5","studentTeacherRatio":"20.6:1","demographicsDataSource":"MDR School","equityFocus":true,"titleOne":true,"metroType":"URBAN","ncesMetroType":"CITY_MIDSIZE"},"inStateSupporters":86.7,"schoolId":40823,"financialInfo":null,"twitterShareText":"Learn more about Norma Harrington Elementary School on @DonorsChoose:","schoolName":"Norma Harrington Elementary School","canonicalPageUrl":"schools/california/oxnard-elementary-school-district/norma-harrington-elementary-school/40823"}
