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 a few keyboard benches in our piano lab that are wobbly and bent. I think it is time to acquire a few new ones! This is the first year of our piano keyboard lab and I have done everything I can to get all the stations ready and working for students.

I have a few stations where the benches are bent and some stations where the students are using chairs.

The chairs don't work very well because they are never at a height that is good for the students. The adjustable benches are much better for the students and give us more room to maneuver around the keyboards. Help us furnish our piano keyboard lab with a few new benches.
