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 Jaguar classroom is a vibrant hub where creativity, dedication, and a profound passion for music come to life each day. To sustain and elevate this dynamic environment and help our students achieve their fullest potential, we need your generous support.

Our students are nothing short of extraordinary.

Their boundless enthusiasm, deep curiosity, and unwavering eagerness to learn transform every classroom session into a moment of inspiration. Despite coming from diverse backgrounds, they are united by a shared love for music that transcends all barriers.

This year, we are excited to introduce a new music technology class. To ensure our students make the most of this opportunity, we are seeking your help to provide essential resources:

Quality Headphones - Our music technology students need high-quality headphones to fully immerse themselves in their digital compositions. Clear and precise audio is crucial for them to analyze, refine, and perfect their work, and your support will ensure they have the best tools for the job.

Tech Disinfecting Wipes - Sharing technology equipment means keeping it clean is vital. Tech disinfecting wipes will help us maintain a hygienic environment by regularly sanitizing frequently touched surfaces, ensuring a safe and healthy space for all our students.

Bluetooth capable speaker with microphone access - this will assist our vocalists by helping them rehearse live with their ensembles or tracks so they get an idea of how they sound in real-time.

Your contribution will directly enhance our classroom experience, providing our students with the tools they need to excel in their musical journey. By supporting our project, you are not just donating items; you are investing in the future of young musicians who are eager to explore, create, and innovate.

Together, we can ensure that our Jaguar students continue to thrive and make beautiful music.
