Low-Income Area School Needs Instruments to Begin Music Program

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 Students

The students at MPS are the most driven, kind, passionate, and focused students I have ever encountered. MPS was created to provide students facing difficult home and economic situations access to an education that is college-focused. Each day, students come in excited and ready to learn!

As our school has grown, we have finally been able to expand opportunities for our kids.

This year will be the first year that the students of our school will have a general music program. I was hired from across the country to come to MPS and get this program off the ground. I have never been more motivated in my entire career, but we absolutely need help funding the instruments needed to truly make this program what these amazing kids deserve!

My Project

Students not only need to learn academics, but they also need to become well-rounded citizens. Music is a gateway to a whole new world for these students, who otherwise may not get the opportunity to do so.

A budding music program, with even just a few instruments, can make all of the difference.

Music can directly affect a student's academic performance, as well as unlock passions in them they never knew existed. By providing performance and music-making opportunities with the requested xylophones, metallophone, and glockenspiel in their classroom each day, we provide the opportunity for students to SHINE in a myriad of ways! Any help we can get is greatly appreciated by our staff, but more importantly, by our amazing students.
