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

At our school, we have an incredible group of music students who are passionate about learning to play the guitar. They are dedicated, hardworking, and eager to improve their skills.

However, our program is in dire need of replacement guitar strings and picks.

Without these essential materials, our students cannot fully develop their technique or practice effectively.

By supporting this project, donors will be helping to provide our students with the tools they need to reach their full potential as musicians. With new strings and picks, we can teach our students more advanced techniques and help them perfect their craft. Your donation will make a real difference in their learning and help our students achieve their musical goals.
