Our most recent project on DonorsChoose.org has been fully funded!  We will soon be able to incorporate a new iPod Touch into our band classes.  Interested in helping us with our next project?  Find Mrs. Pentzer on DonorsChoose.org and check out our newest tax-deductible, fundraising project!  There are many teachers from our school hoping for new classroom items.  You can search DonorsChoose.org by state, city, school, and/or teacher name to find a project that is meaningful to you.
