ElizagraceParticipantWhite Center Heights Elementary is made up of students from close to 40 different countries. About 80% of them speak a language other than English at home. Almost 90% of the students are in our free and reduced lunch program. The students are wonderful and full of enthusiasm for learning. The ukuleles will help allow them to sing and play by traditional folk songs, old 50’s and 60’s tunes and modern popular songs that they all enjoy. The video gives you a flavor for the diversity of our school We work here because of these children. Please help us get ukuleles for them to play!

WSBKeymasterWe shared it on FB, Twitter, and White Center Now.
Somewhere along the line, whomever they are and wherever they saw it, some generous donor has just come along and apparently doubled the fund with one donation … I noticed that at 37 donors, it is now past $2600 … I happened to have a tab open from earlier in the day (maybe last night) showing that at 36 donors they were at $1300. The stated goal was $2500 so they’ve made it over the top. Yay! Can’t wait to go cover their first ukulele concert :)

ellenaterMemberThis is beyond awesome! Thanks to all involved! Funny, I was just in Hawaii and caught a high school band playing ukes. They were amazing and I was thinking what a great instrument it is for all of the reasons listed. So cool!
