The Lament Lab

Help me give my students a studio in their class room! The lament lab is a place for students to turn their pain into a song and use creative outlets to put what they are learning into practice!

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. T's classroom raised $1,038

This project is fully funded

My Project

The Lament Lab will be an in class studio so students will be able to have creative outlets for learning and also have a safe place for mental health releases. Music is one of the major connectors in society but also it surrounds our students more than anything else. We hear music more than parents, teachers, and friends. This will give students a chance to create and have an outlet that will keep them out of trouble. Having a healthy release is not common among youth . This will make a great impact in my school and in my students.
