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

To reach different students, different instruments are needed. In this case, I have a few students that have shown musical skills and the work ethic it takes to learn an instrument. In particular, one student would like to begin learning electric bass.

Help this student to pursue their new found passion for music.

In addition to providing the bass guitar for this student, as a school owned instrument, it will go on to serve many students in the future as well. Thank you again for supporting music making in our school!
