My Project

I love teaching music, it brings me great joy. I love performing with my students and having a wonderful time in the classroom. The speakers we had have all broken and we are in need of an additional Gemini Portable Bluetooth Speaker for students to use during performances and in the classroom to help with the learning. We also need a speaker to help us party and celebrate when students do amazing things inside and outside of the classroom. Please help, no donation is too small. Anything you can do is appreciated. Music brings life to the classroom and your donation will help the spirit of the classroom to continue to thrive!

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
