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 is a Title I, public middle school where students come from a variety of economic, societal, and family backgrounds. Many of our students are bilingual, and on free or reduced lunch. Our choir is a great representation of the diversity at our campus.

Our middle school choir room is a safe learning environment where success, excellence, friendship, and lifelong memories happen, no matter the challenges these students face every day at home.

Our school is consistently one of the top-performing schools in the district, when it comes to academics and fine arts, every year. This is directly related to our dedicated teachers, high expectations, and commitment to our students.

My Project

Our choir needs flower crowns as a costume accessory for the Spring Pop Show. Our school has undergone many changes this year, and their entire Spring Pop Show is dedicated to this theme, hence the song "Somewhere Over the Rainbow." My students relate to popular music, and are drawing a positive, encouraging message from this song. To help communicate their interpretation of the song to the community in their Spring Pop Show, they requested flower crowns. These accessories can be used by the students to deliver thoughtful shows in the years to come.

In our Title 1, urban public school, students use music as an outlet to persevere through their daily struggles at home, and it gives them a reason to come to school each day.

They will also need black performance binders, which will facilitate daily rehearsals and performances. These can be used for the remainder of the year, and on to next year as well.
