Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

My Project

Our students have shown incredible dedication to our music program, making our first year a fantastic journey so far. We're immensely proud of their hard work and enthusiasm. However, we occasionally encounter accidents where instruments fall over due to various circumstances, such as misaligned edges, chairs, cases, and stands.

To ensure the smooth operation of our program and minimize disruptions caused by instrument repairs, we kindly request support for additional music stands.

By having an adequate number of stands available, we aim to reduce the frequency of trips to the repair shop and minimize the time students spend without their instruments.

Your consideration of our project is greatly appreciated, and we eagerly anticipate continuing to share the joy of music with our students, one note at a time. Thank you for your support!

Cheers!

Ms. Roster
Grades 6-8
