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

Snacks and strings! Private listening! My students work hard for rewards like spicy chips. We would love to be able to listen to music individually. My students and I are building a music program from scratch and would appreciate any help you might be able to provide.

My high school serves a diverse population of families, with a concentration of Hispanic and Latino students.

My students’ favorite music is Corridos, and they play and sing every day. Our goal is to continue to build the music program. Thank you for any support!
