Help Ms. R.

I currently teach a lively bunch of amazing first grade scholars. We have been blessed this year by a brand new building! These scholars are excited to learn and grow in every way.

Often times in urban schools we find ourselves with scholars that need to make up so much ground academically that we don't get a chance to really show them WHY we want to succeed (Why is college so important?). We want to them to succeed so that they can truly become members of a global community. Not just the neighborhoods around them.

My scholars love music in every form that it comes in. By exposing them to the musical creations of other cultures an instant "connect" takes place. From that point on scholars not only have an appreciation for the music, but a new interest (if not love) of a new culture.

Your help will ensure that my scholars get exposed to truly authentic music pieces from around the world that will transport their minds and hearts beyond the city limits and into the world.
