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 Crosby Piano Program will undergo massive changes until the beginning of next school year. Supplies have already been ordered to create an entirely new curriculum. There will be a new format for the room and new piano equipment. Unfortunately, the new piano we are receiving will not include some crucial supplies to properly set them up to play.

The keyboard stands and Digital Piano, MIDI and Synthesizer are needed to use our new incoming pianos.

Having these supplies will ensure that all 30 pianos will have all they need to start the new year off successfully.
