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

Thank you for helping the Orchestra.

There is a lot of wear and tear on our bows.

Most of the horse hair has fallen out of my class bows. I would like to provide the kids with new bows to support a strong, resonant tone for their instruments.

New shoulder rests will support good posture, and a new wireless speaker will help amplify the class metronome.

Our students come from lower income families, but deserve good materials that will set them up for success. Thank you for your time and consideration.
