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 every class. However, many of our guitars are broken and falling apart in the Guitar classroom. These broken guitars pose a safety hazard, and desperately need to be replaced with appropriate parts.

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

With your support, students will have the instruments needed to develop good performance habits, without the sharp edges and missing tuning pegs. Thank you for supporting our wonderful students!

Grades 6-8
