Donors Choose

Do you like ukuleles?  Would you like to like to help fund my Donors Choose project?

Donors Choose is a great company that funds the dreams of educators like myself.  Over the past year, I have had two previous projects funded.  The first one was for temple blocks with a stand and a Native American gathering drum.  The second project was for 3 tubanos and mallets.  These instruments are a HUGE hit in my classroom.  Now I need a miracle for my kids.

I am hoping you can help me get 30 ukes to my students.  I have had several wonderful donors already, but I need $445 more to make it a reality.  Please check out the website below:

Ukuleles to Promote Music Learning

Pleas donate if you can.  And, pass along the information to anyone who would love to see 200 5th and 6th graders get to play one of the most fun & trendy instruments to learn!

Thanks!
