Can You Hear Me Now

Help me give my students a portable speaker and microphone for community performances.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Carrera's classroom raised $392

This project is fully funded

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

Our school choir program is often asked to perform at various community events throughout the school year. These opportunities give our students experience in a variety of settings and venues. These community invitations provide my students with performance experiences that cannot be replicated inside the school setting. It is important that my students participate in these kind of activities as they put into practice all the things they are learning in the classroom.

The portable speaker and microphone will give our performances a professional touch.

High quality audio systems help my students participate in performances that they are proud of. The portable sound system will help improve the quality of student rehearsal and improve the quality of my student learning. High energy student performances will translate into memorable and enjoyable choral listening experience for the various audiences and venues that get to hear our students.

We are excited for the upcoming performances that are planned so far this year. These performances include invitations from local business, professional music organizations, schools, and local community organizations.
