My Students
My students are creative, talented, and eager to pursue the discipline of music. My Title I school is a newly dedicated Visual and Performing Arts school, providing an opportunity for students with desire to pursue serious music or art study in addition to core studies. However, the expense of a musical instrument, or supplies, can be a block for some students.
My students come from a variety of backgrounds and over 60% of the families are considered low income.
Our goal is to remove as many hindrances as possible so that each child can simply focus on their academic and artistic goals. That is where we need your help.
Our students come from many cultures with varied backgrounds, influences, and support, that, when pulled together towards a common goal, can improve their lives and the lives of those around them. Our goal is to provide not only the opportunity, but the resources for our students to be successful...whatever it takes!
Music performance can be that common goal or the link between backgrounds, culture, and experience, and, for these students, could very well be the first memorable success story in their lives.
My Project
We are requesting a repair kit which will allow us to fix instruments in need of minor repairs, such as single pad replacements, cork replacement, or bent or missing springs, and place them into the curious and capable hands of students!
Additionally, this kit will allow us to complete repairs on instruments "in house", which will reduce the amount of time students sit in the band room without an instrument due to wait times at repair shops.
Finally, this kit will provide repair options for a few years, not just one school year. Therefore, this project has the potential to affect many more students!
More than three‑quarters of students from low‑income households
