Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I am raising funds to purchase a parachute with 30 handles for my music classes. I recently showed a picture from my childhood with a parachute and many of my students have never had the experience of playing with one! The kids were so intrigued and began asking if we could use a parachute too!

With this parachute, I will be able to honor student voice by planning movement activities and it will also create an intergenerational connection to share my childhood experience with my students.

My students are always eager for new experiences and they especially enjoy movement activities in music class. With your help purchasing this parachute, I can offer my students a new movement experience. Thank you!
