Alejandra Alderete, one of our cello players, has just begun teaching beginning string players at four AISD elementary schools: Paramount Terrace, San Jacinto, Pleasant Valley and Mesa Verde.

She got word to us recently that her kids need some help. Hopefully, some of our readers may be able to swoop in to the rescue.

Oh yes!!! The kids at San Jacinto especially are in DESPERATE need!

Any way you can help me? I take anything wood and in any shape or form!

20 violins
10 violas
5 celli
3 bass

I know...it's a bunch! This amount is spread over the four schools, however San Jacinto I have 20ish kids and only one instrument.

Again, anything will help! Even spare bows, rock stops, cases, etc.

So, dear reader, do you have any extra string instruments laying around? If so, call us at 376-8782. Thanks!
