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 school strives to give our students opportunities for discovery, creativity, leadership and above all to strive for excellence. It is exciting to know that my students are an amazing group of incredible talented, fun, and creative kids who are excited to learn.

My Project

My project will help fill our classroom with books that represent the diverse body of students, bringing stories about musicians, composers, and music from across cultures, backgrounds, and the around the world. These books will bring music to life, with stories, and songs. It will help students feel represented and know that music is for everyone regardless of where you are from, what you look like, or your abilities. The piano will help us perform the music from the books, as I will be able to provide live accompaniment for our students. Thank you for your support! We appreciate you and love you.
