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
HHS was the second high school to open in Albuquerque, and we enjoy a rich history on our campus. Our school is an urban school set in Albuquerque, NM. Our student population is extremely diverse, and minority students are a large portion of our campus. Many of our students come from low-income households and the campus provides free breakfast and lunch for all students in attendance.
The band students at our school are truly energetic, hard-working, and full of personality.
They are dedicated enough to show up at early in the morning for marching rehearsal, stay late for evening rehearsal, and spend their weekends at marching competitions, concerts, and parades.
We focus on the importance of being part of a team, responsibility, time management, and working hard to be the best we can. We are so excited to continue to experience growth in the program and plan to keep the momentum going!

We are halfway through our school year and things have been very exciting in the Hornet Band! The band this year is the largest it has been in at least a decade and we are thrilled to keep the momentum moving forward. We had an extremely successful marching season and our students had a fantastic first concert for the season. Now that we have been working hard for over four months, we are in need of some reinforcement supplies.
All of these supplies will go straight into students's hands.
The items we are asking for are small items that are necessary for keeping instruments clean and in working order. We are hoping to get slide grease to every brass player to help them keep their valve and tuning slides freely moving. Some of our saxophonists need new neck straps to replace old or broken ones. We have an unusually large clarinet section this year and they don't all have mouthpiece cushions and swabs and we would like all of them to be able to clean their instruments every day. Additionally, our single reed supply is almost out and we could definitely use some more reeds to give out to students.
Thank you so much for helping us keep our students supplied with the items they need to continue having a successful year.
More than half of students from low‑income households
