Zippy Do Dah

Help me give my students usable gear bags. All of our drum and mallet bags have been well loved and are missing zippers or do not zip.

My Project

My students are awesome! I have the honor of teaching middle and high school students. This does come with challenges, it also allows me to truly nurture their musical abilities fully, at the begining and ending of their school careers.

We are a smaller rural Title I school, and some of my students are not as blessed as others in the resource department, therefore I work extra hard to improve their environment and experience.

Projects like this one allow me to do that because everything on the list will directly impact them and their learning environment.

We always need tape in my class, so its added to the want list. In addition every one of our drum bags are broken and need replaced, so that instruments can be stored and carried properly and safely.
