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

We are excited to launch a fundraising campaign to support the needs of our school's orchestra! Our talented young musicians are dedicated to honing their skills and bringing beautiful music to our community, but they need essential supplies to thrive.

Our orchestra currently requires the following items:

- Strings for violins, violas, and cellos

- Bows and rosin for all string instruments

- Essential Elements Books 1, 2, and 3 for Strings to aid in their learning and development

Your generous contribution will help ensure that every student has access to the materials they need to practice, perform, and grow as musicians. With your support, we can continue to build a vibrant and inspiring musical environment for our students.

Thank you for helping us keep the music alive in our school!
