My Students

Have you ever had a song stuck in your head that just wouldn't go away? Well imagine the magic of putting many of those songs into a child's head, only the songs that are stuck there teach valuable lessons about nouns or multiplication tables. It's fun and it works! Please help us!

We are a small community school in a giant district.

We have students of mixed abilities and backgrounds. Due to our size and mixed background (over 50% title one or low poverty) we often get overlooked as not being desperate enough to qualify for resources. But all children deserve a quality education!

My Project

Students learn in many different ways! Help my student learn through music. I have many CD's that teach science, history, language arts, and math concepts but I could use an ipod and an ipod docking speaker station in order to organize these songs. This would make them more accessible for teaching! I could also use some new songs for Language Arts and Math. I am also requesting a few CDs with new learning songs on them. Not only will you help my students learn the standards you will help them have fun while learning!

Your donations will help create life long learners!

As students enjoy learning through music they will be inspired to learn more and more! Please help me inspire my students with the help of this equipment!
