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 school music program is thriving, with talented students ready to learn , create and perform . However , our drums kits are in need of essential upgrades to ensure our students get the best possible experience. We need support to purchase new cymbals, stands and drum mats, which will make a significant impact on our students' learning and performances .

My goals for this project are , to provide a better quality of instruments to my students , improving the sound and presentation of our school bands during rehearsals and performances.

This year I opened the Modern Band program in middle and high school , and in short time my students were able to put together a few shows and competitions. They bring energy and excitement to our school. By supporting this project, you are impacting young musicians who are passionated and dedicated with the music. Thank you so much in advance for supporting our music program,

Ms. Suarez.
