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

We believe in nurturing creativity and confidence in our students through various extracurricular activities. One such activity is our second-grade dance club, where young talents come alive on stage. This year, students have been practicing tirelessly during their lunch periods for a performance to the song "Never Fully Dressed Without a Smile" from the beloved musical Annie.

Our dancers are the epitome of joy and enthusiasm, and witnessing their dedication to dance is truly inspiring.

We have been generously donated many dress and tutus; however, we have not been able to find any costumes empowering for our male identifying performers. To make their performance truly shine, we need your support to provide them with the costumes they deserve. Each costume is not just an outfit but a symbol of empowerment, allowing our students to step into the spotlight with pride and poise.

Your generous contribution will directly impact our students' learning journey in several ways:

Boosting Confidence: Donning vibrant costumes will instill confidence in our young performers, allowing them to express themselves freely on stage.

Enhancing Performance Quality: Coordinating costumes are essential for creating a visually captivating performance that resonates with the audience. With your support, we can ensure that every dancer looks and feels their best.

Our goal for this project is not only to put on a memorable show but also to create an unforgettable experience for our students. We aim to cultivate their passion for the arts while imparting valuable life skills such as discipline, dedication, and collaboration.

Thank you for believing in the power of the arts and investing in the future of our students. Your generosity will make a world of difference in their lives.

Warm regards,

Ms. Kenoyer
