Can You Hear Me Now?
Funded Feb 14, 2020
Thank you very much for your generous donations! My students and I are looking forward to being able to access music technology tools and programs on the school's computers. I will be able to implement so many fun and engaging music projects on the computers now. I am so thankful for your support.”
With gratitude,
Ms. McDermott
This classroom project was brought to life by Stahl Family Fund and 3 other donors.

My students are currently using headphones and computer keyboards that are broken and missing keys. Having functional equipment in the computer lab is essential for many of the programs the grade level teachers and I facilitate throughout the year. The headphones and keyboards will be shared with the whole school, as many grade level teachers use the computer lab for the Lexia reading program and for MCAS prep. Having these materials would allow my students to experience and engage with music technology programs such as Garage Band, Scratch, and Chrome Music Lab. Music technology is a great way to engage students in music learning that is hands on and experiential.
