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

My school is full of vibrant, excited learners ready for new challenges each and every day! We are a preK-8th grade school, and in every grade we develop a strong classroom community to support one another.

My school is made up of students with special needs, gifted students and English language learners.

We fill our days with rigorous academics and extraordinary teachers.

My students all come from lower income families that struggle each day to make ends meet. Many of these children face poverty and violence on a daily basis that is well beyond what most of us could imagine. Yet, the students do their best to learn. We try our best to give our students a good education and an introduction to the American way of life, but with limited resources there are many things that others consider basic parts of education that we cannot provide without assistance. My school is very limited in the funds that teachers receive every year. Teachers go forward and buy their own supplies to help their students have a successful school year.

My Project

Our musical theater students will have a chance to extend their learning and love of reading and the performing arts. Despite being just a train ride away, most of our students have never even been to Times Square. The idea of seeing a Broadway show is not even something realistic for them, but that is what I hope this project will give them. With the help of one of our teachers, if given this grant, not only will our musical theater students be able to see a Broadway show, but they will have the opportunity to receive a backstage tour and a meet and greet with some of the cast members of the Lion King. This opportunity will spark their creativity and talents as we rehearse for our performance of 101 Dalmatians.
