The Singing Aviators Love to Create Beautiful Music and Shine!
My students need chorus risers to be able to perform in school wide music concerts. They need an alto xylophone in order to be eligible to audition for Florida All-State Orff Ensemble.
FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Pagan's classroom raised $919

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 Students
My school is made up of immigrants from different Hispanic heritages. We are considered a Title 1 school because our parents are considered low-income. I feel my students are special because many of them come here for the first time to live in a land of opportunity. For many of my students coming to America is a life long dream of their parents and will bring them a brighter future.
As their music teacher I try to bring culture and musical exploration to their lives.
I teach music from all over the world and would love to purchase instruments that they would be able to create beautiful music with. I have an after school chorus club that sings all over Miami-Dade County. The chorus goes annually to a local Nursing home to sing winter holiday music for the geriatric residents. At Amelia Earhart we love to create beautiful music to share with others.
Also, we are a center for special education students, many of the students are in wheel chairs. These students, no matter their limitations, love to create music and would benefit from new musical instruments to use in their music classroom.
My Project
This project will help low-income, immigrant Hispanic students to have access to new musical instruments for their music class. This project would be an investment into their future as music makers and would significantly help them grow as musicians.
The students having access to an Alto Xylophone would be amazing!
This would allow them to create beautiful music and they would be eligible to audition for the Florida Music Educators Elementary All-State Orff Ensemble. Only students who have access to this instrument are allowed to audition for this prestigious honor. Something our school would never be able to afford on our own.
The chorus risers would bring amazing musical opportunities for all of the students in our school. The chorus riser will allow many students to be able to participate in school wide music concerts. My students love to sing and these risers would help them all be able to stand comfortable, allowing them to be seen by the audience members and be able to dance freely as they perform.
Please consider Amelia Earhart and the Singing Aviators Music Students in funding our music project!
