Organize Our Orff Instruments!

Help me give my students storage for our instruments, and a new xylophone to play!

FULLY FUNDED! Mrs. Beekman's classroom raised $984

My Project

My students are hard working kids who love to learn. Sure, we are nestled in the city of Richmond, VA, but you wouldn't guess it if you walked into my room…instead, you'd find yourself transported to a conservatory full of diverse students composing, choreographing, writing, and growing.

My students use Orff Instruments to make beautiful music together, and they need an accessible place to store them away when they are finished.

We are already so fortunate to have some Orff instruments, but we would like one more Alto Xylophone and a storage cabinet to tuck away the things we already have.

We have used the same Orff Instruments that were given to us by donors like you back in 2011! We care for them so that we can continue using them for years and years to come, and this cabinet will help us with that mission. Just imagine, if you fund our cabinet and xylophone today, we'll likely still be using them in 2039! Your donation will impact so many students over the course of those years.
