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

In the last three years, we have been very fortunate to have a growing band program at our middle school.

With growth comes the need for more equipment.

While students can share large instruments like Tubas and Euphoniums, they should not have to share mouthpieces. Mouthpieces are an essential part of playing these instruments and they should be a personal item to maintain hygiene. My goal for this project is to try to provide students with the necessary tools to be successful in their musical journey.

By having their own to use during the year, student can focus on growing their skills.

Our students are eager to learn and enthusiastic. They deserve equipment that matches their dedication!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
