In Tune With Success: Supporting Our School’s String Ensemble Program

Help me give my students who don’t own their own instrument a violin so that they can participate in our school’s string ensemble.

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Buckley's classroom raised $216

This project is fully funded

My Project

The high school where I work does not offer extra-curricular activities such as band, choir, and orchestra. Students who come to our school have to make the choice to give up these types of activities. I have put together a group of students who still wish to play their instruments, unfortunately not every student owns their own instrument.

Our string ensemble is in need of a violin, an essential instrument that allows students to express themselves and build confidence.

Your support will provide them with the tools they need to explore their musical talents and create beautiful music together.
