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

The goal of this project is to help students' mental heath through theater. Students at my school desperately need a safe space where they can be themselves, collaborate with their peers, and learn to manage their emotions.

During this project, students will be guided to explore and share emotional experiences dealing with mental health, creating posters that explore the challenges high schoolers face.

These posters will serve as inspiration, as students will create characters and write scenes to showcase how to deal with situations in a healthy and positive manner.

Students will then have the opportunity to perform their scenes for other students in the school, hopefully reaching most students in the building.
