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

Our school is growing musically every day. This year we are able to start after-school clubs and programs. With after-school programs, the community can thrive and our students will have rare opportunities to try new and exciting things. One of the clubs I would like to start is an Orff percussion ensemble. These threeDiatonic Xylophones will add to my small collection and give more students the opportunity to be a part of our new after-school program. This will also help students during regular class time not have to wait to play or partner.
