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

Our scholars are hardworking, kind students who desire to be challenged. They are excited about learning guitar, most of whom would not otherwise have the opportunity. All students borrow instruments from school, which need maintenance supplies.

Because of your generosity, our students will be able to access supplies for a quality instrumental music education.

With your support, school-owned guitars will be maintained and preserved so that no child has to choose not to participate because their family cannot afford an instrument. The cases will allow for students to take guitars home to practice their craft, and the tuners will assist in aural development.Thank you for supporting our wonderful students!
