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

We have an amazing problem at my school. We have 30 cello players! The problem, however, we do not have enough strings or bows to keep up with the demand for the instrument.

We would greatly appreciate any contributions to sustain the cello section at SMS.

It is a performing Arts Magnet that is currently thriving and our numbers are going up! However, it is growing at a speed that we need help to keep up with our student demands. We currently have 4 students that cannot play their instrument because we are short strings!
