My Project

I teach some of the coolest students in Knox County. They work hard and are awesome musicians. They deserve a colorful and inspiring music classroom! I'm asking for funding to replace rugs and pillows for my students to sit on while learning.

My students sit on the floor to make it easier for them to learn and play instruments.

Purchasing these new rugs and pillows will make my lessons more comfortable, feasible, and effective. My goal for this DonorsChoose project is to raise enough money to purchase four new, clean and colorful rugs and 24 pillows for the students to sit on.
