My Students

The students who attend our school are some of the most amazing children I have ever met. They live in one of the most dangerous communities in our nation's capital. They attend a Title I school where 100% of the population receives free lunch. Every day, they walk down a hill to school where they are able to escape the violence that riddles their neighborhood and receive not only a great education, but get the opportunity to participate in the school's drum line.

For the students who participate in the school's drum line, it provides them with an extracurricular activity that not only keeps them out of trouble, but sets them up to participate in the drum line in middle and high school.

Despite all of the challenges students face outside the school walls, they still come to school each day ready, excited to learn and be part of the drum line.

My Project

The bass drum heads we are requesting will go to replace the worn and tattered drum heads that students have been using for the past 4 years. Each week, drums are being taken out of use because the drum head is beyond usable. This means that one by one, students are unable to participate in the drum line that they so desperately love.

With these bass drum heads, more students will be able to continue with the drum line program.

This means these students will be set up for success and have the skills needed to participate in the music program when they get to middle and high school. It will also provide students with an opportunity for a constructive and safe activity for 2 hours after school each day.
