Did Someone Say Karaoke? Part 2

Help me give my students a fun way to connect with the community and share their musical gifts!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Collis's classroom raised $409

This project is fully funded

My Project

Our students enjoy sharing their love of music with people around them. We are working a project to bring more music into the community and participate more at community wide events. This fall we are leading our town in Christmas caroling and we hope to set up a tent for karaoke in future events that allow organization to be a part of them.

This project would help us to have a portion of the materials needed to set up a karaoke and other music based activities for our students and community members during the events.

We would even be able to use these materials to show performances and advocate for our program during community events.

We hope to encourage our community to make music with us and build our connection so that our community and our music program can be stronger together!

Thank you for your consideration!

With Gratitude,

~Mrs. Collis~
