Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

We have an awesome band teacher and band program. Because we have so many students wanting to be in band, our band teacher is out of instruments. There are a handful of students in band that do not have an instrument to play. Even without an instrument, they want to stay in band. Please help two students receive new trumpets for band class. They are willing to play any instrument just to stay in band. This says a lot about our band program and teacher. Help us make music and inspire as many students as we can in the world of music.
