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

I am growing a new dance program at my school, and we are going to be using tap shoes with my 4th grade students! They are very excited to learn a new style of dance using actual tap shoes. However, as my students grow in their tap dancing abilities, we will face the challenge of keeping their shoes organized and safe. Tap shoes can easily get damaged or lost without proper storage, which is why I created this project to purchase shoe storage containers for all of my 4th grade classes!

With your generous support, we can provide a neat and organized space for my students, creating a positive and productive environment where they can focus on their dance skills.

Students will be able to not only learn about tap dancing, but also promote responsibility as they care for their shoes. These storage shelves will also prevent wear and tear on the tap shoes which will ensure that they last longer for future students to be able to use as our program continues to grow. Thank you for helping my students take steps toward success—both on and off the dance floor!
