Summer Projects for Our Music Program

Help me give my students rugs and shelves to make improvements to our music classroom for the 2025-26 academic year.

FULLY FUNDED! Mr. Argerakis's classroom raised $1,149

This project is fully funded

My Project

This project is designed to improve the functionality as well as the aesthetic to the music classroom. The rugs we have under our drum sets are over ten years olf. They are filthy, ripped up, and a complete eyesore! The picture frames will be used to hang pictures, mainly of our school bands throughout the room. The hanging shelves will hold many of our childrens books that we use constantly with our kindergarten through fourth grade general music classes.

There is no available space to add a book shelf, so I will hang these on the walls!
