My Project

Our school has a policy where teachers cannot ask students and parents to purchase materials for classes while the school supplies everything that is needed. While this is great on paper, it can be difficult for a classroom that uses consumable supplies that break and go bad often like reeds for clarinets and saxophones. While my school supplied hundreds of reeds for my students, it was not enough to cover the hundreds of beginners in my classes. I found myself spending over two hundred dollars on reeds for my students. I want to make sure I build a reed supply so I don't have to keep buying reeds for my students.
