McKinley Elementary, DeeAnn Sands hasn't added a story.
Hello!
My name is DeeAnn Sands. I am a new music teacher at McKinley Elementary School. I am starting a project with volunteer musicians from a local high school to teach our students violin and flute in an after school club. Their program is called 'Project Prelude'. The high school students are volunteering their time and have found donation instruments to let our students use for free. What a wonderful opportunity for our kids! Most do not have the access or ability to pay for private musical instruction. They also are mostly unable to afford instruments. Many of my students are very excited about our new music club.
But I have one problem, only students that have the ability to be picked up later after school can join our club. This creates an economic exclusivity situation. Students whose families do not have cars, or whose parents work and cannot pick them up after school are automatically excluded from this club.
If I could raise the funds to hire a bus to transport students home once a week from Project Prelude Music Club, I could offer the opportunity to all of our students. I would love to be able to work with every student that has the desire to become a musician and help them get their start.
Budget: Bussing $45 per week for 9 weeks: $405
Supplies for cleaning instruments: $95
Total: $500
Music can change lives for the better, I see it every day. I hope you can help me with my dream of providing this opportunity to all of our beautiful children at McKinley Elementary.
