Greetings!
My name is Samantha Wong and my classmate
Jessica Lee and I are planning on educating students through the SUN program of
Portland, Oregon. Schools Uniting
Neighborhoods program offers low-cost, educationally enriching after-school and
before-school classes; day camps on many no-school days; community gatherings
and social support coordination for struggling students and families. So what
we hope to do is start up Clarinet and Flute lessons once a week, after school
for absolutely free. This will create the opportunity a lot of the kids
wouldn't have gotten before to experience working with, and let alone just
being exposed in general, to music. I personally volunteer with the Buckman SUN
program and volunteer twice a week after school helping kids with their
homework (how we came across the SUN organization.) Since Buckman elementary
school has already started their programs for the year and have their schedule
already created, we have to see if the other SUN schools who have not yet begun
their school year programs would be interested in what we have to offer. There
is also the concern of how many students we can accommodate and if we need
to think of a rotation system or rent more instruments... Crossing my
fingers that they get back with us ASAP and all goes as planned! Jessica
and I are both extremely excited for this Google Project!
