Help Protect Student Band Instruments

Help me give my students security for their instruments and personal belongings in my classroom with the donation of locks for our instrument lockers.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Scalzo's classroom raised $356

This project is fully funded

My Project

Students from all grades use the band instruments in my classroom, which is a shared space. While we do have locker storage, we do not have locks for any of the lockers. We have almost 100 instruments that need to be safely secured so that they can be in tip-top shape for our students to use. Sometimes, curious non-band students get into lockers, and instruments can become damaged or even go missing.

These locks are essential to providing my students with fully-functional instruments: a must-have as a foundation for building their technique and musicianship.

These locks will protect student instruments from vandalism and theft.
