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 Students

I am incredibly lucky to work with the students that I do! My students have a wonderful passion for music and incorporate it into their lives in and out of school. We are a Title I inner-city school located in Southern Connecticut, and this is my 7th year teaching! Our school administration and staff are very supportive of our music program and roughly 20% our entire student body is enrolled in the band!

Every year our program grows, but unfortunately, our budget does not.

As our program grows, we are able to tackle more challenging pieces and perform throughout our community. Our budget covers essential supplies, but as a result, we are not able to grow our inventory as much as is needed.

My Project

We were so thankful to get a printer/photo copier/scanner last school year! It has helped us in so many situations and the students are so happy to have it in the classroom. We need this ink to keep the printer going and keeping it useful. We have run out of our color ink and we use this to create colorful projects to display and share with our school.

I have been able to get music into the hands of my students whenever they need it because of this printer!

We have used it for printing compositions to share with peers, last minute photo copies, searching new articles to read with the class, and more!
