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

Music is the universal language that connects hearts and minds, and in our classroom, it’s the key to inspiring creativity, joy, and self-expression. But to help our young musicians reach their full potential, we need your help to build a library of books that support both music literacy and imaginative play.

From stories about famous composers to books that introduce the wonders of rhythm and melody, these resources will allow our students to explore the world of music in new and exciting ways.

Whether it's learning about the instruments of an orchestra, diving into musical history, or simply reading fun, music-filled adventures, your donation will spark a lifelong love of music in our future musicians!

Join us in harmonizing the classroom with the power of reading and music—together, we can create a symphony of learning!
