Pick Me! We Are Ready To Learn

My students need music stands and method books for our music class.

Ms. Maddox Kay Road Elementary School
Byron, GA Grades 3-5

Our school is a new K-5 school. Last year we were a primary school only teaching up to grade 2. I have very few resources for the 3-5th grade. We are in a low income rural area in the south. My county can provide no funds for my music program at this time.

DonorsChoose.com donors have been very gracious in supplying my students with guitars this fall. Now we need method books and music stands. This past fall I surveyed my students and they chose "learning how to play the guitar" as their top interest for music class.

We have the guitars, now we need the materials to assist us with this need. These items will be used as a resource in class to teach the students.

You can help us complete our goal of having a guitar program in our school. Thank you for considering this project.
