School Supplies for Little Musicians!

Help me give my students new crayons, colors, pencils, and cases for their music classroom activities. I have currently almost 600 students weekly and they all have to share the same old supplies when work in my classroom.

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

I am requesting new colors and crayons for my classroom because I teach nearly 600 students weekly, and currently, they must share the same old, worn-out supplies that have been used for years. Many of the crayons are broken, which makes it difficult for students to fully engage in creative projects, particularly when they are working on musical assessments that require them to represent their ideas visually. By having fresh, organized supplies, I believe this will boost both their productivity and their motivation. With new crayons, students will be more excited to express themselves artistically, leading to better learning outcomes and higher-quality work.

Nearly all of my students come from low-income households and often lack access to art materials outside of school, so providing them with these resources is essential.

My goal for this project is to ensure that every child has the tools they need to succeed, which will not only support their creative development but also enhance their overall academic engagement. What makes my students special is their enthusiasm, resilience, and creativity—they thrive when given the opportunity to showcase their ideas, and with your support, I know they can shine even brighter!
