Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Students

Our students are anxious to move forward after our recent pandemic. We all have toughed it out working life’s troubles. They are vigilant, intelligent, kind, Incomparable, noble and gracious students. Our students use their minds and musical talents to bring resources to their community.

My Project

The supplies that I am requesting for my students already have a "home." In other words, I know exactly who will use them and where everything will go. We just need your help in getting mouthpieces through our door! These items will be used at least 18-20 hours a week in our building. The mouthpieces will be used to create musical charts that reflect the feelings, thoughts and musical ideas we have during our mini-lessons. These mouthpieces will be offered to students, so they may work more comfortably.

Grades 9-12
