“Republic Schools have about 325 students K-12.  This breaks down to about 150 in our elementary, 75 in our junior high, and 100 in our high school.  We have about 80% on the subsidized lunch program but every student is offered free lunch this year because of a grant we received.  

Our district has been very supportive of the music program and this gift of instruments from you will stretch their dollars in other areas.  Our students love to play instruments and we use them daily with bands and elementary classes.  It will mean a good deal to them to have more instrument for all students to use one.” - Sara Cromwell, Republic School District, Music Teacher K-12
