Help me give my students the ability to play any instrument they desire.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Astorga's classroom raised $309
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
Kids will be kids and this means that instruments will be broken. The students at my wonderful middle school love the music program. Starting up a music program from scratch after 10 years has been a difficult journey. We don't always have all the materials and I sometimes have to turn students away from certain instruments due to lack of materials. I am trying to grow my cello section and give students the opportunity to play the instrument they choose.
Help support the arts and give students the opportunity to play the instrument their heart desires.
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
