My Project

My goal for this project is to help students at our middle school have a better education through music education. It can be very expensive for students to learn an instruments, and normally this would limit which students can take music courses. However, at our school we provide instruments to any student that can’t afford them, which is a large portion of our students. My goal is to lesson the financial load for those parents by also providing their students with music.

This project will help us provide music books for students who can’t afford them at our school.

This will lesson the financial toll for students that can’t afford their music books, and give these student the opportunity to learn music in school. Giving them this chance can also create opportunities in the future for them to get scholarships to college through their music.

Mrs. Cieslak will only receive her materials if this project is fully funded by September 5.
