My Project
Our students come from a very diverse population of over 80% Native American from the Crow and Northern Cheyenne reservations, as well as many farms and ranches from all over our massive county.
I have recently accepted a position for Business Teacher in the High School, and I would like to build a quality sound system, so that the students can have an option to present things to classmates, teachers, and community members, as well as be able to take an active roll in school dances and other events.
Many students can learn great things by serving their school and community, and learn a lot about the sound business, which can be a great career option for them.
This will allow students to build on business ideas that require communication, possible music performance or speaking, fundraising, and community service ventures. The students will use this system to have the option to be able to set up events that require presentations with sound.
Our community loves their events downtown for holidays and local traditions, sporting events, and 4H clubs. I would like to be able to give the students versatility in their business ventures, and teach them to incorporate presentation and effectively serve their community utilizing their passions. Thank you in advance for helping us!
