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

Hello everyone! I have taught rock band at the elementary level for over 10 years. As with any materialistic items over time, items begin to show their age, wear and tear, and eventually, or no longer reliable and in need of replacement; as is the "case" with our bass instruments.

Our bass cases are falling apart after 10 years of service.

To ensure these instruments are properly stored for storage and travel, I am seeking to replace the current bass cases we have to ensure the instruments do not get damaged during travel or storage.

Rock band is a great enrichment program at my school, and I want to continue to ensure the instruments continue to be properly taken care of for years to come so that our present and future rockers have reliable equipment that work as intended.
