Ukuleles for 3rd-8th Graders!

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 Project

Every year, ASCEND students partake in a post-session learning opportunity in which they choose a learning pathway for a week! This spring, Ms. Jaime and I will be offering "Ukulele Vibes!" with the following description:

"🎶 Do you dream of learning a musical instrument?

Have you ever wondered what it would be like to write and perform your own song? Begin your career as a musical superstar by joining the Ukulele Vibes Post-session! Picture it now: ukulele in hand, strumming beautiful chords, and singing your favorite songs! And guess what? At the end of post-session, you’ll get to go home with your very own ukulele to keep!

Develop your musical abilities, learn how instruments can build mindfulness, and build new friendships for a lifetime. Join Ukulele Vibes today! 🎶"

Please help us raise the necessary funds to provide ukuleles to our students who otherwise wouldn't have the opportunity to learn an instrument at our school! Thank you so much for you generosity and consideration.
