My Project

LE is a rural, Title I, K-5 elementary school in North Carolina. Many of our students come from low-income families, and 60% of our students receive free or reduced-price lunch. Our student population ranges from students who are intellectually gifted to students with varying levels of learning disabilities.

Our students are amazing, and we love to interact with the community and have multiple programs throughout the year.

However, our audio equipment is over 20 years old, our mic stands have broken, and our microphones do not have on/off switches, so the microphones do not work properly all the time. We also do not have the wiring we need for proper audio programs. The microphones that we have requested will enable to turn audio on and off as needed. The microphone stands will allow us to not have to borrow mic stands from other schools or get creative in the placement of mics with no stands. The wiring will allow us to have a safe environment in which to have programs, and we will no longer have to borrow wiring from other schools.

This equipment will help make 5th grade graduation, our DARE program, Veteran's day assembly, and various musical performances throughout the year so much better for our students and the audience.

Assemblies and programs are important to students' social and emotional growth on various levels. Students need to learn how work with others, how to be respectful during presentations, and how to present themselves in front of an audience. All of our assemblies and programs are aimed at assisting with these. Your donation to assist us with this would be greatly appreciated.
