Cook County Schools

A Minnesota Beatle Project Grant resulting from the sale of Minnesota Bealte Project Vol. 1 made it possible for all elementary students in Cook County Schools to participate in music education. This grant was made possible by everyone who purchased the album and showed their support for music education in MN public schools.

"First of all, I want to thank you for the opportunity this grant has given my small, northern MN, K-12 school.  With my grant I have purchased student acoustic guitars that will allow my entire 5th grade class to learn guitar.  I have also purchased African Tubano drums that will allow all of my lower elementary students to play as we learn about music around the world.  We are just in the beginning stages of implementing the instruments purchased with the MN Beatle Project grant so at this stage it is just a general, but much appreciated, thank you.  This grant will allow ALL Sawtooth Elementary students the opportunity to play music as well as love music.  Thank you again for this amazing opportunity."
