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

My students love it when they can have an instrument in their hand! I teach Kindergarten - 5th graders at a Title 1 public elementary school. Their favorite part of music class is when they can use an instrument! I currently do not have enough of the items in this project to have equal groups when we do instrument activites, but you can help!

Your contribution will allow me to have the amount of items needed to complete my class sets.

My funding is mostly through fundraising so ordering new items usually gets put on the back burner. Purchasing curriculum and paying fees for music events is where the money I am allotted goes first. Anything else that needs purchasing has to be funded through fundraisers or donations.

If you choose to contribute, you are making my music classroom more inclusive! The more items I have or students, the more get to participate. Thank you for considering us!
