My Project

At my school this year I have had 180 students in my middle school band. I have to print music, exercises, assessments, scales and different learning tools like finger charts for them all of the time. This means we need a lot of paper for the large number of students that I have. Each student needs their own copy as they keep the sheets I. Their folders. I am always in need of copy paper to print these items for my students and I do not have enough to print for them.

Students also need to have pencils in band to write on their music.

There are various times they need to write reminders, mark repeats or sharps and flats in their music. I am completely out of pencils to supply my students. Most of my students do not come to school with supplies like pencils so I provide what I can for them like pencils and erasers.

This project will directly impact historically underfunded classrooms.
