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're excited to embark on a journey towards enhancing our students' well-being through the power of music! With your generous support, we aim to provide our students with a new set of bongos, a versatile instrument that will enrich various activities tailored to support their holistic development. These bongos will serve as a cornerstone for our after-school music club, where students will have the opportunity to explore and learn to play different instruments, including guitar and other percussion instruments.

Music has a profound impact on mental and emotional well-being, fostering creativity, confidence, and a sense of belonging.

By offering our students access to diverse musical experiences, we can empower them to express themselves, build essential life skills, and cultivate a love for music that will last a lifetime.

Your contribution will not only provide our students with the tools they need to engage in enriching musical activities but also create a supportive and inclusive environment where they can thrive. Together, we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of our students and nurture their passion for music and learning. Thank you for your generosity and belief in the power of music education!
