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

New mallets so students do not have to use broken and work equipment for optimal learning. The Marimba allows for enough instruments for students so ALL can participate in the arts! This school is in year four of existence and has so much potential to continue to grow and reach every student, no matter their background.

The goal is to enhance the learning experience of our band students to have an amazing marching band that can perform at multiple places in the community.

We enjoy participating in our parades and need this will make our students feel like professionals.
