Help me give my students a stereo receiver to complete our PA system for assemblies and other school wide events.
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Espinal's classroom raised $231

Celebrating 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 school is in the final stages of upgrading our PA system to better serve our students, staff, and families during assemblies, performances, and daily announcements. To complete this vital upgrade, we are requesting support for a high-quality stereo receiver that will seamlessly connect our existing Bluetooth microphones, tripod speaker stands, and audio sources. This component will serve as the central control unit allowing us to manage sound levels, input devices, and output quality with clarity and reliability. Right now, we are working with a patchwork of older equipment that often malfunctions or fails to deliver consistent sound.
With this stereo receiver, our students will benefit from a professional, well-balanced audio experience at schoolwide events.
Whether it’s a fifth grade graduation speech, a multicultural performance or a student-led morning rally, clear sound helps boost confidence, increase audience engagement, and ensure every child’s voice is heard. This is especially impactful for our English language learners and students with speech needs who deserve amplification and recognition. Assemblies will become more inclusive and accessible, and staff communication will also improve during emergency drills or inclement weather procedures. The stereo receiver will also empower students helping with tech support or leadership roles, giving them hands-on experience with real-world equipment.
By helping us complete this project, you are directly investing in our students’ confidence, expression, and sense of community. Thank you for helping us amplify the voices of our future leaders.
