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

Help our students thrive in their high school music classroom with updating the basics of what we need. This includes dry erase markers, pencils (for writing in their music scores), page protectors (for their music), a printer (to more quickly and easily update lessons), name tags (for social events to build community), and equipment to better utilize our keyboard and microphones.

Students deserve a classroom where they have what they need in order to reach success.

Unfortunately, our classroom has run out of some of these essential items. Your donation will help our students be prepared to be an excellent music scholar.
