Strings for Orchestra Instrument

Help me give my students strings to keep their instruments in good playing condition.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Josephson's classroom raised $1,049

My Project

Not surprisingly, students who are learning a string instrument need strings for their instruments! We are in a tough spot in our classroom. We have many months of school left, lots of learning left to do, no money left in the budget, and things that we still need.

This is not a glamorous project, it's simply a need that our operating budget cannot fulfull.

Our classroom is running out of extra strings. When you play the violin, viola, cello, or bass, sometimes you need to replace a string. This can be for a lot of reasons, and it's almost never the student's fault.

Please help us to continue learning and growing this school year. You can't play a string instrument if you don't have strings!
