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.

I teach grades 6-8 Speech/Drama in IL. We are a title I school, our students are at-risk, low-income, and minority.

Our children need somewhere to belong. Some of our middle school kids have already turned to gangs. I want to create a safe haven for kids after school by offering them the performing arts and technology together. Though the students take an interest in theater technology, we do not have the resources necessary to turn our tiny drama department into what these kids need.

We need two choral microphone and stands to work along with some of the other sound equipment during live performances. These microphones will be used for plays, speech competition, the talent show, and guest speakers. Not all children want to be actors, many would rather work behind the scenes. Adding this equipment to our department will allow me to teach these children to use advanced sound technology. It will also help the audience in our gymatorium hear our kids' voices.

Your donation will allow children who have never been exposed to quality theatre to create their own quality performances. This will keep them off the streets and teach them that they do not need a gang to feel like they belong.
