Mrs. P. Kimberlin Academy for Excellence
Garland, TX Grades 3-5

This school is in a high-need area where we have built a string program of over 130 students.Many parents don't have the funds for the supplies that are necessary to play the instrument.We need good shoulder pads to aid the students to hold their violin or viola properly. Your donation of shoulder pads will help students have the proper foundation so that they will be able to hold the instrument UP which enables them to play in tune. Students know if they are holding the instrument properly they will "Not Drop the Ball." (See photo)

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
