Help Music Club Get A Sound System for Assemblies

My students need microphones to use during assemblies.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Garner's classroom raised $573

This project is fully funded

My Students

We are Empowering Our Students Through Art and Creativity Students have the opportunity to participate in SEL Assemblies.

Our school is made up of students in PreK- 8th grade with mostly low income families.

Most of the opportunities they have are through the school. Students come to school every day to receive breakfast every morning with a willingness to learn. Our students are talented and work hard to achieve educational goals.

My Project

Our students participate in SEL Assemblies and other assemblies throughout the year. We have a good auditorium where students can use their talents to say speeches and sing to show their talent. However, students cannot be heard because they do not have a sound system. The students can use the sound system at the assemblies so they can be heard. My students need microphones to use during assemblies.

Our students are planning more assemblies and need a sound system for the events.

Your donations will help our students get the sound system they need so that they can be heard during the assemblies.
