Music Stands For Our K8

Help me give my students new music stands for handbells and other instruments. These items break down over time and ours are falling apart.

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

Our school serves between 930 and 1000 students every year. Our music classes serve all of our students. Wear and tear is a real issue when budgets are tight. Music stands, hole punches, chairs, folders for music are things not often considered a priority. Ours have become very worn and in need of replacement. We have also grown on our programs and need more to meet the needs In our classrooms. This donation will help us to begin replacing our worn items and provide students with what they need.
