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 orchestra program is successfully growing, and we still need help purchasing these items on this project. Some of the students are without these resources for class.

We are in need of bows, rock stops, portable music stands, violin cases and more.

Please consider helping us obtain these items so every student has what they need to succeed.

All items purchased will be reused year after year with more and more students. Also, they will be using these items at school and home, as well as for performances we have throughout the year.

I teach at an all girls of color STEAM school. The girls are bold, unique and amazing students. We are constantly through our program removing barriers where each girl can feel empowered to be themselves and use their voices in the community.
