My Project
At our school, our students are hard-working, musically astute, and voracious learners.
Now, more than ever, we need to foster creativity, empathy, and cultural literacy through music!
Music teaches our students to imagine, innovate, collaborate, and respond with wonderment and awe, and to respect the artistic contributions of all cultures. They love and need music. They soak it up every chance they get. Whether it’s posting performances to FlipGrid, preparing solos for high school auditions, or playing in school with their friends, these are kids who have a deep connection to music. Now, more than ever, they need your support to take their music education to the next level.
The keyboard will help students accompany the jazz band, add harmony to the concert band, and help teach students music theory!
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
