Guitar Maintenance Time

Help me give my students with various peripherals to make our general music classes and bands thrive.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Argerakis's classroom raised $825

My Project

We are very fortunate to have some community volunteers helping us in the music room this year. Many of our instruments are over 15 years old and are in very serious need of repair, cleaning, general maintenance . This fund-raiser will provide us with various peripherals to get our instruments in better working condition. All of our instruments in the music program are used on a daily basis, by most all of our student body (roughly 550 students), as well as during our after school ensembles. Getting these instruments in good working order again is a priority!
