I was forwarded this email from a friend and thought I would pass it along. As the arts and music departments across the country continue to suffer from reduced funding, more students are attending charter schools. It seems that charter schools are not exempt from budgetary issues, however. So those of you with clarinet in your attic or saxophone in the basement, here is your chance to put it to good use!
I am currently a music teacher at a Charter School on the west side of Cleveland. It is my 3rd year, and I have the wonderful opportunity this year of starting an Instrumental program. I have over 40 students that are VERY interested in learning to play an instrument, but most will be unable to afford renting or buying the instruments.
We are a 501(c)(3) Organization (Madison Community Elementary School, Constellation Schools) and are looking for donated instruments. I am looking for Flutes, Clarinets, Saxophones, Trumpets, Trombones and snare drum/bell kits.
I am looking for generous people to make a Tax-deductible donation to help out under priviliedged students in Cleveland. Please e-mail me personally if you would like to help out!
Thank you for your consideration!
