Help me give my students the power of music by allowing them to play the instrument they really want to play in class. Our music program is rapidly growing!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Peters's classroom raised $358

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
At my school, students in grades 6-8 have the option to pick an instrument to learn and play. We had a head start in increasing our instrument inventory by winning the VH1 Save The Music Grant, but unfortunately, that isn't enough. Our band program is rapidly growing and my students need your help! Please consider making a donation towards this cause so our students will not need to share instruments in the future. This donation will also allow for students to take their instruments home to practice for future school concerts.
Nearly all students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
