My Project

Over 300 students work and create in the CSS Music Room each week. With this many students, we need an update! With full classes and more live performances each year, we need two additional keyboards and keyboard stands. Our newly donated ukuleles need cases, and they, along with our guitars, need wall hooks for care and accessibility. Mics, posters, and cords will further support our music-making.

Let's keep it going and growing!

We funded the first project - let's fund this part two.

CSS students are intelligent, curious, and creative. Let's give them the resources they need to reach their potential and fully engage with Music.
