Traveling Musicians

Help me give my students instruments to play while out of our normal classroom setting.

FULLY FUNDED! Ms. Patsos's classroom raised $418

My Project

Our school suffered a lot of damage during Hurricane Ian. As such, I have been displaced from my classroom. Some classrooms sustained more damage than others. Until those more severely damaged classrooms are repaired, my room will be home to two pre-k classes.

As a traveling music teacher, I will need to bring music and instruments to my students.

Help me provide Xylophones and other instruments so we may continue learning music outside of our normal space with instruments I can't easily transport from one room to another.

Bonus: these instruments will still be a huge addition to our music room once back in our own space. They will be used regularly even after things get back to normal.
