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 Students

My students love learning! I am a new band director this school year but the students did not skip a beat upon my arrival. They have been working extremely hard and have already started to accept and warm up to me. A lot of band students are heavily involved across the campus in sports and other school clubs. Most of them play multiple instruments and love spending their time in the band room. The students have great potential but are limited by the quality of their instruments and classroom supplies. They keep their spirits up and do not let the limitations stop them from doing what they love.

My Project

Our band operates on a pretty tiny budget each year. We were lucky enough to have supportive administrators who made it possible for us to receive a brand new drumline, but heads to make these drums playable are another project of its own.

I am reaching out to help lessen the burden of this expense by creating a project to fund the snare drum heads only.

Any donation to get this project started is extremely helpful and appreciated by all. We are hoping to have all of the materials for these drums by August to kick off our marching band season. Every dollar counts!

I want my students to know that they are worth it and deserve great equipment. We had an amazing marching band season this past fall, and I am hoping to push my students even further next season. With supporters like you, you are helping a student reach their full potential and letting them know that you believe in them and that each of them has worth.
