Donate 9News- Word of Thanks

Westminster Public Schools Mariachi Program

A Westminster Public Schools student is one instrument away from finding their voice — and helping carry the tradition of Mariachi forward this Hispanic Heritage Month. You can be the reason they get it.
 
On Wednesday, September 16, kicking off Hispanic Heritage Month, you'll see Westminster High School's Mariachi and Orchestra programs featured on 9NEWS Next with Kyle Clark as part of the Word of Thanks micro-giving campaign.
 
Your gift puts a violin, cello, harp, guitarrón, or vihuela directly into a student's hands. Built to last 20+ years, these instruments become part of Westminster Public Schools — so your generosity keeps supporting new student musicians for years to come.

About the WPS Foundation

When you give to the WPS Foundation, you're removing the barriers that keep Westminster students from learning and opening doors that help them succeed. Many students face challenges far beyond the classroom — hunger, housing instability, unmet health needs, limited access to college and career pathways. These challenges aren't about ability. They're about resources. With your help, the WPS Foundation addresses basic and emergency needs, funds college and CTE scholarships and credentials, and supports other innovative programs — for all 7,282 WPS students. When you support a student, they show up ready to learn, thrive, and build a stronger community for all of us.

The Westminster Public Schools Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit (EIN 84-1088489). Your donations are tax-deductible.
