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 Project

Every year our 4th and 5th grade student work to put on a musical for the community. They dedicate countless after school rehearsals and recesses to create an amazing performance. In the past, sets were either bought or made by teachers. This year we are doing something different.

Our 4th and 5th grade engineering students are eager to start designing and building the sets and props for the school musical.

This project will take commitment, creativity, engineering and the right tools. An set of electric scissors and calipers will get the team off to a strong start.
