Celebrating 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.
Give this project a boost!
A chain reaction of support starts with one share.
Most of my students come from economically disadvantaged homes and eat free or reduced-price school lunch meals on a daily basis. I know music education is helping my students become better human beings and well-rounded citizens of our country. As well, music is improving their test scores on state-mandated tests.
My students love the band very much; so much, that the band hall is their second home.
Not just their second home, but also their second family. They are always looking out for each other in any way possible. Regardless of any differences, my band students come together and make incredible music! They work hard, show true dedication, they collaborate and have been successful year after year. They know that it is an honor to be a musician in our band program, and they take it very seriously. So, even though we may not have the best equipment for learning music, they will always try their best. My band students inspire me each and every day with their tenacity, drive, and passion for music. I am truly lucky to be their band director.
My Project
Reeds are extremely expensive and completely disposable! They wear out, break and need replacing often, which becomes difficult for some of my students and their families.
These supplies are absolutely imperative to the success of our band program this year!
They will assure that every student is prepared and has the chance to be a successful contributing member of the band. Our woodwind players cannot even make a sound without quality reeds. These reeds will go to help maintain the instruments all year and assure they are consistently in working condition. These supplies will be used every single day, and make an enormous impact on our program!
More than half of students from low‑income households
