Germ Free Is the Way to Be!
Funded Jan 24, 2025Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in your donation in helping us keep our music classroom healthy! It is sometimes hard to keep up with the necessary items my students and I need, so we really appreciate your thoughtfulness! The paper towels, hand sanitizers, lysol spray, and more have already been put to great use as we wipe down our instruments during these winter months where germs have been spreading like crazy! It has been wonderful to not have to worry about running low on such items! Thank you again!”

Comfort in the Classroom!
Funded Jan 24, 2025Thank you so much for your kindness and support in such a comforting project to my students in the music classroom. I love to be able to provide a relaxing atmosphere while my students learn and our new beanbag chair has made a wonderful addition! Students were beyond thrilled to see we have a new chair as our last one had gotten pretty beat up over time! IT makes a wonderful addition to all of our cozy cushions that our rockstar of the weeks are able to enjoy in music class! Again, thank you for your generosity in such a special project!”

Djembe All the Way!
Funded Jan 13, 2025Thank you so much for your kindness and support in such a special project for our music classroom! My students were so excited for the new additions of our djembe drums! The drums produce such great quality of sound, and students noticed the difference and were able to practice their "tone," "bass," and "slap" sounds on them. While we have a lot of smaller djembe drums that we practice on, we were able to rotate and share the new big djeme drums donated to groups as they practiced which students were thrilled about! Again, thank you for your generosity. We really appreciate you!”

Funded Jan 12, 2025Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity in helping us bring a new rockjam keyboard piano the music classroom!

Students are currently preparing for parents to come in to hear their hard work, and the addition of this new piano will make it all the more exciting!
