A new program for the times we are facing
Virtual Music Therapy
As our Austin schools are closed indefinitely, Sparks for Success! is determined to continue teaching our students skills to help them cope with these times. And we’re not doing this only for our own Sparks students, but for all the elementary age children in our district. Everyone is experiencing some level of trauma and Sparks for Success! wants to share coping mechanisms with children and their families.
Weekly Videos
In addition to our Music Therapists who are sending encouraging messages to their students by way of our school counselors, Sparks for Success! is producing weekly videos, each teaching a skill to help all our children develop the resilience they need. Here is the link to our first video. Thank you, Ms. Adrienne, for producing this.
Sparks has already received positive feedback from school counselors.
The Challenge
In the past, Sparks for Success! has not run programs during the summer months, so our Covid-19 Video Project is not in our current budget. Producing these weekly videos is putting a strain on Sparks’ finances and we need your help during this critical time.
You Can Help
Please consider a gift to Sparks for Success! to help us offset these additional unforeseen expenses. Sparks wants to continue these weekly videos throughout the summer and into the school year. You can support literally hundreds of children through this project.
Most helpful is to have the security of monthly contributions. By choosing this option you will help Sparks know what we can do for our children. Sparks for Success! is grateful for all contributions.
Thank you in advance for supporting our children through these difficult days.
