Music 2024-2025

Help me give my students the instruments and peripherals they ned to thrive this school year!

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Argerakis's classroom raised $1,355

My Project

I am seeking to provide various peripherals for my music classroom that will benefit my Kindergarten through eighth grade music classroom, as well as my two after school bands. We need guitar strings, amplifiers, and so much more to continue to grow in our daily general music classes. The soprano recorders will be used for our second through fifth grade classes. The drum heads will be used everyday (thus the need to replace them!). The guitar strings will be used in our 4th through 8th grade classes. The organizer will keep our peripherals organized!
