Celebrate Black Teachers and Students

This project is part of the Black History Month celebration because it supports a Black teacher or a school where the majority of the students are Black.

My Project

I teach at a Head Start through fifth-grade elementary school. Many of my students have never had the opportunity to play an instrument, much less learn how to write or compose music. I was able to have several music projects funded throughout the years that allowed me to extend my program in terms of strings, percussion, and recorders.

Although most of my students are of Haitian-American heritage, we pride ourselves on being diverse as our teaching staff comes from many countries and ethnic backgrounds.

Our music students have been performing and rehearsing more than ever since the pandemic. In order for me to preserve and store what they have done this school year and in the years to come, our music classroom needs more hard drive space.

Since a single new device would not really solve the problem, I decided that getting two 2 TB external hard drives would be more efficient and cost-effective. I am requesting two 2TB external hard drives for my classroom so that students can use them to save and store their music videos, performances, dress rehearsals, and music projects/assignments.
