In Class Repairs

Help me give my students instrument repair supplies to avoid the repair shop.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. K.'s classroom raised $279

This project is fully funded

Celebrating Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

Celebrate Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month

This project is a part of the Hispanic & Latinx Heritage Month celebration because it supports a Latino teacher or a school where the majority of students are Latino.

My Project

I just got a drawer organizer for small parts and I want to fill it with instrument repair parts. This project is requesting for trumpet springs, trumpet valve replacement parts, cork replacements for clarinets and saxes. I also have requested for some pad replacements and spit valve replacements for when they fall off and get lost.

Please help me get these supplies funded so that I can repair instruments on the spot and avoid the repair shop waits!

This allows me to fix instruments on the spot in class so they dont have to go to repair shop. This saves the district money and it helps us keep instruments in students hands!
