Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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

I desperately need more keyboards for my piano class, and we don’t have enough. Each student deserves to have their own keyboard in class, we don’t want some students to have to go without. Any help is much appreciated, and if you know someone who would want to donate a keyboard that is also very helpful! Without more keyboards, students will have to take turns on our existing keyboards which drastically reduces their individual time on the piano. Anything helps, and thank you!
