"I gave to this project because I know that this school district is one of the very lowest funded (per pupil) in California and has a wonderful program for special needs students. These teachers know what will help their students! "

"I gave to this project because my nieces and nephews are also in a grade school band and I see what a positive influence playing these instruments have been on them. I want these children to have the same opportunity. Please let the school board know how important it is to keep this program going. Best wishes! "

"There are so many ridiculous reasons the state (and its people) won't fund education yet devote the money to so much else, yet so many great things that happen from good education. Sounds cliched, sure, but it's true."

"I gave to this project because... 1. I remember what a difference the right supplies made in my own education 2. Laura is an amazing, dedicated teacher and a dear friend 3. I would just like to reiterate #2 :)"

"I gave to this project because...I went to high school with Laura and as an educator I think supplies for students should be one of our highest priorities."
