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 Project

The materials in this project will be used to provide direct support for the woodwind, brass and percussion sections of the LGMS's Band program.

90% of the student body of LGMS is Title-I, so it almost always is difficult for student's families to afford instrument support supplies in a consistent fashion.

When completed, this project will provide a large chunk of what the LGMS's Band program needs to complete the 2024 spring semester. Thank you in advance for supporting this program, as the impact will instantly be felt by some very talented and hard-working students!
