Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

The Hardy Middle School student population is a unique one in that it is made up of students from all around the world, including from military families. Students are energetic, enthusiastic, and diverse in their learning and growth potentials.

Our students and school community enjoy music and the arts, which are featured very largely in our school.

The programs also help our students to grow in confidence and skills. Performances in music and the arts are special and embraced by everyone in and outside of the school community. Showcasing the music and the arts takes many resources, which our school cannot afford. This is a struggle for our students.

My Project

Students gather frequently to listen to their peers, gain new perspectives on different things happening with them and in their lives, emotionally support one another, recognize their peers' achievements, and play music. These sound systems would help to amplify student voices, in areas where the sound doesn't adequately support the activities in the spaces. We believe everyone should be heard, and these sound systems are a great way of amplifying some shy voices and giving confidence to all, particularly our girls and the less confident among the student population. Thanks!
