Spring Cleaning

Help me give my students a clean, sanitary classroom with updated and newer equipment.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Patsos's classroom raised $541

My Project

It is that time of year that I am going through my classroom and assessing what is broken, worn out, and what cleaning materials need replenishing.

I was blessed with a well stocked music room when I started at this school.

However, many items are wearing out and breaking. My students love dancing with ribbons, but now I no longer have a class set due to the wear and tear of constant use. The speaker we use for playing music to sing along with is also beginning to wear out. There are constant issues with static and feedback.

My students also enjoy their keyboard time or working on websites such as BandLab and Chrome Music Lab. This causes for a constant demand in headphones. I barely had a class set this year, now with those wearing out, new headphones are highly desirable.
