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

I am thrilled to introduce an initiative in our music classroom and seek your support to acquire additional trombones. Our goal is to break financial barriers, providing equal access to music education for all students. Increased trombones will foster inclusivity, enriching our ensemble's sound and nurturing a sense of belonging among students. The project extends beyond instruments, aiming to ignite a love for music, build a diverse ensemble, and facilitate personal growth. Your support will empower students to take ownership of their musical journey, honing skills, and developing qualities like discipline and teamwork. Our students, with unique talents and resilience, eagerly embrace the joy of making music together. We appreciate your consideration, as your support can make a lasting impact on their academic and personal growth. Thank you for championing music education.
