After months of fundraising and volunteer efforts on many fronts, I am happy to report that school supplies have been delivered to nearly 18,000 children in 38 schools. Aside from getting needed resources in the hands of the children, Schools Count has been able to accomplish a FIRST for the upcoming school year.
Usually, we can help build one band program each school year. Because of the generosity of our donors and the terrific work of Luscombe Music in Elmhurst (they did a collection drive of new instruments from some of their customers) we will be able to get two band programs up and running this year. Both Yates Elementary and Lavizzo Elementary in Chicago will start their band programs this year!!!
I know there are some very excited students and parents and we are just as excited for them. Thanks to one and all!
