My Project

My students love coming to music class each week because we dance, sing, play instruments, listen, draw to music, compose, and most importantly, create a positive space for everyone.

The supplies in this project will support all the activities listed above: markers and crayons for active listening, glue for art and music projects, dry-erase supplies for compositions, cleaning supplies to help us stay safe, and reeds to help us play wind instruments.

Like many students across the nation, music class has become a safe space for students to be themselves. Please help them do that by funding this project.
