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 Students

Exceptional, dedicated, driven, relentless, and compassionate are just a few words I use to describe the scholars I am honored to serve everyday. Every scholar accepts the responsibility of being a positive contributor to our school community. This building is our safe haven. We laugh, play, learn, and grow together.

"Music gives a soul to the universe, wings to the mind, flight to the imagination, and life to everything."

Plato understood and his words drive our daily lessons and musical integration in academics. Low income may describe us, but it does not define us. The incorporation of music within every fiber of our environment helps to lift our spirits and drive our achievements. We are the future and because of us, the future is bright.

My Project

Our inaugural band and chorus classes are ready to crush the competition. We just need your help with our uniforms. The vests and ties we are requesting will ensure that all of our musical scholars will look their very best despite the financial concerns we all share from time to time. We have school-based and state based competitions coming up soon and the vests and ties are our uniform.

We sound amazing, we just need your help to look the part.

Music is an important love to support. We want our scholars to have a well rounded educational experience and this program with these materials are a necessary step.
