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

I love my theater club students for their creativity, dedication, and teamwork. They bring stories to life, support one another, and inspire me every day with their passion and perseverance. Each snack and refreshment I’m requesting will make a significant difference by keeping their energy levels high during long rehearsals and brainstorming sessions, ensuring they stay focused and engaged.

Our goal for this project is to create a welcoming environment where students feel cared for and can give their best performances, both on and off the stage.

A simple snack can transform their experience, helping them concentrate and collaborate more effectively.

What makes my students special is their diversity and resilience. They come from various backgrounds, and for many, the theater club is more than an extracurricular activity—it’s a safe space where they can express themselves, build confidence, and form lasting connections. Your support will directly fuel their creativity and help them grow as learners and individuals.
