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

Many people share their admiration for our students who live on through low socioeconomic backgrounds, violent neighborhoods, and racism. Although we share this admiration, we know our students are more than their resilience. We know our students feel passionate for singing, dancing, and performing. We know our students want this creative outlet so they can cope with the heaviness of their worlds.

We know our students are diamonds in the rough- just waiting to shine!

– but we need your help to make this happen. Their talent in the theater is outstanding. Students are eager and quick to learn new songs, dances, and scenes. Our students help each other with practicing lines, choreographing dances, and designing scenes. They have the motivation of future Broadway stars.

Many of our students are still learning where they feel comfortable in the theater. We are hoping to give these students the tools they need to feel their skills and enthusiasm are valued in the production. We also want our stars to shine in the spotlight and take in the glory of their accomplishment. For all our students, we want the theater to feel like a second home.

My Project

Our students will be performing Aladdin on April 24, 2020!! Our students are working extremely hard to make sure our musical is a total success. They practice their lines and lyrics with each other, spend their recess memorizing their parts and most important encourage each other to become better.

To showcase their hard work and talents, we need equipment that will enhance their experience with musicals!

The hanging microphones will project their voices to the audience. The monitor will help students listen to the songs they are performing. The lights will bring color to the settings. Please help us make this happened! Our kids have done the hard work, we just need the basic tools to help them shine even further!
