Lowe's Grove Band Winter Supplies!

Help me give my students the tools to keep their instruments in good working order!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Carr's classroom raised $207

My Project

The Lowe's Grove Band program has been growing since we have been back from the Covid-19 Pandemic. With this growth, comes the need for occasional instrument supply updates!

Our percussion section and our low-brass section have some very talented musicians this year!

Due to the large number of talented students, we have had to replace a few essential supplies, due to heavy use. Our school is Title-I, and nearly all of our students are not able to reliably resupply their instrument accessories, due to financial limitations. This project's impact will go a long way, and provide our students with much needed assurance that their instruments function properly.
