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

Bringing a portable P.A. to our students will benefit everyone in the classroom by making sure that their voice as part of the group has more power. Students are always curious as to how they will sound on stage after so many rehearsals. Without all the right gear, their learning and motivation can easily be handicapped. For music, in a concert environment, not having all the sound heard is like being limited to some crayons for an art canvas. Our current system doesn't do justice to our concerts. Your contribution will make a difference in close to 150 students. With your help, this project will bring a portable P.A. to our students; this will make a huge difference in their learning and improve their music artistry. This will provide more opportunity by making it possible that their group has a good sound due to mask requirements. Our current sound system doesn't allow their full potential.
