I just found a new weblink directly to my school which is tax deductible. I'm not sure how to do the tax deductions through Go Fund Me.  I also just figured out Go Fund Me and their payment platform take a cut from the donation. Please donate directly to the San Mateo Education Fund and designate it for Choir. You also get a tax form when directly donated to the school. See the weblink. (What can I say? I'm new at this)

I work with Special Education (severe) and mild moderate who mainstream into my choir. Some special education students are non-verbal. I am in my first year with my current school and have brought in personal instruments so they can join the choir in musicality. The expression on their faces is pure joy when I hand them a drum or a mallet so they can join in the music. Right now we are creating our own Orff version of the Lion Sleeps tonight.  Everyone is cooperating on creating the order of the score. Everyone loves love beating on drums and the bass bars but I need a full octave of contra bass bars so they can each have one for themselves. I have found the bass tone is soothing to special education students' ears and they are not sensory overloaded. The larger bars also make it easier for students who have trouble with fine motor skills since the instrument is bigger.  Using Orff percussion provides a great opportunity for the mainstream students to see that music limitations are really only limited by lack of creativity. These wonderful special children can participate in music just as much as mainstream students.
