Subject: Re: [MK8] funding for private school classrooms

Check with your local school district. Sometimes they have money for
private schools in the area. That was how I got my 30 Ukuleles, a classroom
set of Boomwhackers, drum sticks and 30 Home Depot buckets for Bucket
drumming.
Check into the music departments in the public schools in your area.
Sometimes they do a clean out of their old instruments maybe you can get
something out of that.
Also look into fundraising for your music department.
Good luck on your search.
