Help My Students' Voices Be Heard

Help me give my students musical inspiration and learning through a virtual festival experience.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Lewis's classroom raised $334

This project is fully funded

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

My students have the opportunity to participate in a virtual festival this spring. In this event, students will submit video performances with other performers and receive educational feedback from high-quality music adjudicators. This experience will be a great chance for students to connect virtually with singers at other schools while also learning about how to be better musicians and expressive performers.

Your donation will pay for the entrance fee for students to attend one of these virtual festivals.

This opportunity is another chance for students to be engaged and inspired as they continue with their music learning. Thank you so much for considering my project!
