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

At our school, we believe that every child deserves the opportunity to explore music in a structured and engaging way. To support this vision, we are launching the "Folder Up! Help Our Students Organize Their Musical Journey!" project. Our goal is to raise funds to provide our students with high-quality music folders—essential tools that will help them organize their sheet music, practice materials, and notes.

Music folders are more than just organizational tools; they are gateways to enhancing students' learning experiences.

With organized materials, students can focus on their practice and performance without the stress of misplaced sheets. This project will foster a sense of responsibility and pride in their musical journey, allowing them to develop essential skills for both music and life.

Our students are enthusiastic and eager to learn, and we want to equip them with the best resources to succeed. By providing them with music folders, we will help them create a more productive and enjoyable learning environment. With your support, we can inspire our young musicians to embrace their passion for music and reach their full potential. Thank you for considering this opportunity to invest in our students and the arts!
