Celebrating 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 Students
I want to inspire and share my passion of music with my students. As a fifth grade teacher I have always envisioned a music program where students learn instruments and explore their creativity and build their self-esteem.
I teach in a very low-income area where students have a very limited access to musical instruments and music instruction.
Three years ago I started a guitar class with ten of my students as part of the Little Kids Rock Program. This class has become very popular among students and I constantly received many requests from students of different grade levels wanting to be part of this special class. My main objectives for this program are to provide students with musical skills that are transferable to any musical instrument, to expose students to different genres of music, and to allow students to explore their creativity through music.
My Project
In order to improve and provide music lessons to more students in my school I need a PA system. The PA system will allow us to have better rehearsals and performances so that students can showcase their skills and be motivated to improve in their instruments. Students will be performing at special events such as: assemblies, holiday programs, and talent show. Performances will not only build self-esteem and confidence, but it will also inspire other students and the rest of the community to explore their creativity through music.
You will make it possible for my students to learn how to play guitar and use their creativity to write and perform their own songs.
It will also provide them with the opportunity to grow together and collaborate as one Little Kids Rock Band. Your donation will make a huge difference in the lives of many of my students. I am confident that the skills that they gain from playing an instrument and performing will help them throughout their lives.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
