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

This project provides the opportunity for my students to be able to grow as musicians and continue to perform for their community. This year we have grown from a 10 person beginner drumline to a full 30 person marching band that's getting ready to perform for their first spring concert and student orientation. Next year our marching band is working towards our first competition and we need your help! Correct instrumentation is a crucial part of competition and these supplies will provide the opportunity to have our best foot forward. Each donation brings us one step closer to showing how strong and musical our community can be.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
