The Safe Musicians

Help me give my students PPE masks that will help them play their instruments successfully and safely

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Bolden's classroom raised $728

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate 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 Students

My students are awesome musicians who are always wanting to practice their instruments. They are very zealous, and they always make sure that I am continuously working to make them better instrumentalists. Through this pandemic, they are still pushing through.

My Project

As we embark on a new year here at GL Education for the Performing and Visual Arts, I have always been fearful of my students not being able to show their full instrumental capability because of how they have been hindered on their instruments this past year. Though they have instrumental bell coverings, I feel it's better to be safe than sorry. This project will help my students become great musicians safely through the use of these PPE masks for instrumentalists. These masks will prevent unnecessary vapors from getting out into the open air, which can be a potential for COVID.
