Stepping Up To The Microphone

My students need a pair of condenser microphones for concerts, assemblies, and meetings.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Wamser's classroom raised $153

This project is fully funded

I am the music teacher at an elementary school with grades Pre-K through 5. We are located in a high-need urban district in the Midwest.

Our one and only working microphone just stopped working. Everyone has been very cooperative by being good listeners at morning assembly but the holiday season is coming and we are preparing our big show. We love to feature solo singers, but they need microphones.

Microphones can be used at meetings, training sessions, music and drama performances, and every day at morning assembly. Our students love to step up to the mic. It makes them feel so special to lead the Pledge of Allegiance, or our school pledge.

Your generosity can help our school's collective voice be heard once more. Please help us get two, new, handheld microphones.
