Mr. Nearing from Portland OR is requesting musical instruments through DonorsChoose, the most trusted classroom funding site for teachers.

Peninsula Music Students Make Their Lives Sing!

Help me give my students the support they need for successful performance experiences. A Portable PA system will allow us to hold outdoor events and will facilitate student performances for their families in our auditorium.

My Students

My classroom serves every single one of the 267 students in our K-5 Elementary School. For at least the last eight years there was no music offered here. Now we are in our second year of making music together.

Our first concert together students sang their hearts out, they were so excited and wanted to know when they could have another performance!

These students made such amazing progress, I can't wait to see how they grow for our next performance.

My Project

Music is everywhere we go, and if we are talking about the "soundtrack of our lives", students should have a chance to make some "sound" decisions about their own playlist. A quality Portable Sound System will support our students as they sing together.

Listening is a life skills superpower, a musical skill and these students deserve to hear and be heard when they step on stage.

As our students bring music and art back to our school, we are singing at assemblies and performing for our community. You would be amazed how much they love having a moment to shine!
