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
I am a music teacher in the South Bronx, NY, which is one of the most poverty stricken areas in New York City. My elementary school also houses one of the biggest shelter populations of children in all of NYC.
This year, I am excited to share my love of music with our students.
I am creating a music program from scratch. Our student population is not exposed to instruments and I want our students be able to experience the joy of learning to play instruments and gain a love of music!
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
