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 Title I school district is in a high-risk community where most students are a minority and low-income.

I teach middle school theater and speech grades 6 - 8.

We offer classes in basic performing skills, acting, technical theater, and play production. We also have a large extracurricular program which produces two plays, a competitive speech team, improv, and participates in the International Thespian Society.

Though our drama students struggle at times to succeed, they are passionate, imaginative kids who deserve the chance to experience a creative learning environment.

My Project

The primary goal of our technical theater class is understanding how the technical elements of theater come together to contribute to the overall environment of the play.

Our students develop focused ideas for the environment using visual elements and principles and aural qualities from a variety of sources.

The students work together to design elements of scenery and properties represent environments, and costumes and makeup to show character. In order to create these designs, we need color pencils.

Unfortunately, our middle school students spend a lot of time searching out colors and not enough time drawing.

If we had several pencil cases specifically designed to keep our supplies organized and easy to see, it would be much easier to create our technical theater designs.

Your donation will make it possible for our students to have enough time to create their visions.
