Imagine what it would be like to have children who want to play music, the school has a music teacher and the desire to start a band but that school is without music instruments. Well, thanks to a $4,000 grant made by the Daughters of the American Revolution, John Hay Elementary School will be able to start a band program next year.
Funding for this project was made possible through the sponsorship of the Isle a la Cashe Chapter, National Society Daughters of the American Revolution. This initiative will allow Schools Count Corp. to purchase trombones, trumpets, saxophones, clarinets and flutes for John Hay.
Not only is DAR providing us with $4,000 but Schools Count Corp. will match this funding with an additional $4,000. Taken together, the $8,000 will get John Hay as many as 24 to 30 instruments heading into the 2014-15 school year.
Because of the generosity of DAR we'll be able to purchase instruments this summer so that the Music Teacher, Ms. Chicoine, will be able to get the students involved on Day 1! Hats off the DAR for taking the interest in the students at John Hay.
