Help me give my students new mallets for our instruments. The mallets we are using are old and falling apart. We really need them!

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

The mallets we have been using are many years old and falling apart. I have been keeping them going with mallets that are actually for different instruments but unfortunately, they don't create the correct sounds. We really need new mallets for our school but they are so expensive that our school can only afford a couple of new ones each year. We need replacements for all of our instruments.

Thank you for your consideration into funding the music program for our Title 1 school here in Nevada.

We really appreciate it!
