Dance, Sing, and Play!

Help me give my students a better singing, dancing, and playing instruments experience! My sound equipment is very outdated and my rhythm sticks are splintering!

My Project

My students love to learn new things and experience technology and play instruments they cannot afford at home. Our sound system is very outdated! We haven't been able to perform in years due to COVID, so we are excited to start showing off our talents this year! Today at recess we tried a line dance, but no one could hear the music, but with a blue tooth speaker we could dance AND hear the music! In December we are leading a school sing-a-long, and a new speaker would be fantastic! When we use the rhythm sticks, a great "first instrument" to play, they are splintering and breaking.

Having a better sound system and quality rhythm sticks would benefit all of my students, PreK-5th grade!
