My Students

I have the privilege of working with many wonderful, hardworking students. My goal is to give them the absolute best opportunity to experience success in our program by providing them with the necessary tools to achieve that goal without funding being a concern for their families!

My Project

These materials will provide our students with supplies they need to achieve success on their instrument and in our band program. Not only will these supplies serve our students this year, but throughout all of their years in our middle school band program. Students will learn to clean their instruments properly after each use and will be able to keep them in working condition for years to come.

Our students work hard and strive for success in our program, but struggle to afford the supplies that are necessary.

The supplies we need will not only benefit the students, but will also preserve the life of the instruments that we are fortunate to be able to provide them! To this point, we have not been able to teach students to properly care for their instruments or provide the daily maintenance they need to continue working properly.
