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

Our orchestra program is growing, and we are in urgent need of replacing worn-out violin cases. These cases are essential for keeping our instruments safe and in good condition for student use. Each instrument and case our school owns has been used by many students over the years, and they are now extremely worn.

Through this project, each student will also receive a cleaning cloth to use at the end of class each day, helping them take responsibility for keeping their instruments clean and well-maintained.

In addition, the 15-inch viola included in this project will go to a new 6th-grade student who currently doesn’t have an instrument for class.

I love how enthusiastic and dedicated my students are about learning music. With your support, we can continue to give them the tools they need to grow as musicians. Thank you so much for considering a donation. Every contribution makes a difference.
