Help us Fund our Middle School Guitar Class

Help me give my students guitars to play in our new guitar class!

FULLY FUNDED! Dr. Wright's classroom raised $5,409

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 Students

My students are middle school students in an inner city school with an interest in learning to play the guitar and other instruments. These students have few opportunities outside of school to take a music class so this would be an awesome opportunity for them.

My Project

These guitars will be used in class for students who are not able to afford to purchase a guitar. We have a high interest in the new music class we are offering but do not have the instruments readily available for the students. This project will get our new guitar class up and running. The instruments would remain in class and will be used in the future for more students. We will have a class set that will serve about 150 students this year and will be used for many years to come!
