Help me give my students headphones for our keyboard lab. Thank you for your support!
FULLY FUNDED! Mr. McKanstry's classroom raised $265
This project is fully funded
My Project
My middle schoolers are an amazingly rambunctious and talented group of students. We currently have a keyboard lab with 20 keyboards and headphones. However, of the past 5 or so years our headphones have gotten really worn and most students don’t have access to funds to purchase their own for keyboard class. In past years, our school has been able to handle the bulk of purchases, however, we are experiencing extreme budget cuts in the NYC Department of Education. Because of this, we are seeking support from donors like you to help us continue doing great work in the music classroom.
More than half of students from low‑income households
Data about students' economic need comes from the National Center for Education Statistics, via our partners at MDR Education. Learn more
