One thing that is strongly needed within our school community is a space for our students to express themselves musically. Since we currently do not have a music program in our school, my colleague and I decided to create an after-school music club as a space for students to practice, learn and develop their musical talents. We have received an overwhelming amount of interest from the students, but we do not have the musical equipment needed to support their thirst for music. Our goal is to have students perform during school-wide events such as our holiday feasts, talent show and valentines day dance. Another goal is for students to perform outside of the school at places like the nearby senior citizens center and more. We plan to use our club time (Tuesdays and Thursdays after-school) for students to practice using the guitars and microphones. Since most of our students can not afford to buy their own instruments and equipment, we are also considering allowing dedicated members to borrow a guitar to practice at home by signing a contract where they agree to be responsible for the equipment at all times under their possession. Please help bring music into the lives of our students by donating towards this project. Thank you!
