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

Help us bring a forest or even the pyramids to our stage with theatrical paint!

I teach middle school theatre / speech grades 6 - 8.

Our title I school district is in a high-risk community where most students are minority and low-income. Though our students struggle at times to succeed, they are passionate, imaginative kids who deserve the opportunity to experience a creative learning environment.

My Project

We manage an after school drama club program where students participate in 2 full length plays / musicals, improv team, speech team and Thespian society. This theater program allows students of all ability levels and learning types to play a role in the creative process. We try to find a place for any child interested in the performing arts. Not only do we put students on stage, but backstage as well. Students are responsible for just about every aspect of the creative process sound, set, props, costumes, makeup, and lights are all executed by the theater students. Though our students are brilliant artists, we do not have much paint to create the backdrops you would normally see in most school plays.

If we had more paints including Burnt Sienna, Burnt Umber, Chrome Orange, Cobalt Blue, Fire Red, Florescent colors (including Magenta, Orange, Pink, True Red, Violet, Yellow, and Yellow Orange), Green Oxide, Black, Metallic Brass, Metallic Silver, Metallic Gold, Phthalo Blue, Phthalo Green, Phthalo Red, Raw Sienna, Raw Umber, White, Ultramarine Blue, Venetian Red, and Violet, the kids could create the dazzling backdrops they have been dreaming of.

Your donation would make that possible!
