Hello! This is my first year teaching my school. It is also our first year having a music program! Being that our program is brand new, we are in need of instruments to start performing and practicing.
My goal is to create a section of "modern band" in my general music classes and after-school club, in which students can jam, write songs, and collaborate on rock band instruments.
My students are so excited to have a music program. I have many super talented, aspiring singer-songwriters. These guitars are the first modern band instruments that would start the program. This donation would help make their dreams come to life. Help us make our school rock!
More than half of 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
