Ukuleles for Walnut Square!

Funded May 5, 2021

The ukuleles brought such joy to students in a time of stress and change. The students were actually able to hold and USE an instrument, which, due to covid, was not a possibility beforehand. Students enjoyed strumming along with songs and making some of their own. We were able to make MUSIC. It was exactly what we all needed.

My second grade students were in class when the ukuleles arrived- they helped me unboxed each one. Students were totally thrilled- some likened it to a birthday or Christmas.

Thank you for bringing music back to student's lives. As you know, music helps join students together and can be used as a tool to help support social and emotional learning. Students NEED authentic music making. We were able to engage in song because of you.”

With gratitude,
