New Mics for A New Sound
FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Russell's classroom raised $341
This project is fully funded
Celebrating 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
My classes love performing together during our concerts. However we do all of our performances in the gym. My class sizes range from 12 to 28 in each class. Sometimes it can be hard to hear the students over the background music. Even my choir of 50 students can not always be heard very well.
Please help my students be heard by all of our audience.
My hope is I can set up the microphones so that all of the groups, no matter what their size is can be heard no matter where the audience or family members are sitting.
This classroom project was brought to life by The DonorsChoose Community
