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

As I embark on my journey as a first-year music teacher, I am filled with excitement and dedication to inspiring young minds through the joy of music. However, my students need essential classroom supplies like drums, floor cushions, paper, and a portable speaker to create an engaging and effective learning environment. Your generous support would help provide musical instruments, sheet music, and other crucial resources for a comprehensive music education. With your help, we can ensure that every child has the opportunity to explore their creativity and develop a lifelong appreciation for music.

Your contribution will significantly impact our classroom, allowing us to cultivate a rich musical experience that nurtures my students' talent and confidence.

Together, we can create a harmonious and inspiring environment where students feel valued and empowered to achieve their full potential. Thank you for considering supporting our classroom and being a music education champion.

Warm regards,

Ms. Edwards Rosa L Parks Elementary School Grades 3-5
