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

Our intermediate orchestra students are about to complete the first level book, and they will need the second one to continue to play in the orchestra.

Each student will receive a book to use it in class and they can take it home for practice.

They each have a folder where they also keep their method book.

These books will be reused once they are completed. They are never thrown away or wasted. Your donation will be much appreciated by the students as they will be used daily in class.
