My Project

Hello! I'm reaching out on behalf of the music program at our school. We are a low-income school where we strive to provide high-quality music education with meaningful experiences for all our students, despite limited resources.

As we look ahead to the upcoming school year, we are in desperate need of some music classroom supplies such as new headphones for our keyboard lab and new chorus binders to ensure our students have the tools they will need to learn, create, and grow.

We would be incredibly grateful for any donation amount!

A new classroom set of headphones (that aren't tangled and broken) for our students would be wonderful so our students can practice independently at their keyboard without distractions. Also, new chorus binders and labels will help to keep our young singers organized and take pride in their work and music.

A classroom job set is also requested in order to promote responsibility, leadership, and a sense of community within the music room (as we are a "Leader in Me" school). Your support would directly impact the lives of our students, many of whom do not have access to musical resources outside of school. Every donation helps create a more enriching, equitable environment where all children can thrive through music.

If you're able to contribute, that would be be amazing!

Thank you for considering a gift that helps nurture creativity, confidence, and a lifelong love of music in our students! Have a great day!
