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

The percussionists of the Mighty Trojan Band pour their hearts into expressing themselves through music but the implements needed to play their instruments can be costly and numerous.

Please help our students fall in love with music!

Music making is a powerful experience and can be a strong motivator to get students to show up to school day after day. My goal is to get quality sticks and mallets into the hands of as many students as possible to help encourage them to take part in making music with their friends!
