Helms Middle School is an urban school in the heart of the Richmond/San Pablo Area. About 120 students study band or orchestra at Helms each year.
The bulk of our Donorschoose projects are geared towards updating equipment--some of which hasn't been updated since the late 1980's.
Each instrument or accessory purchased not only serves the one kid for one year, but the entire class that kid plays in. We are interdependent--strong and capable musicians, but with each individual win our ensemble and our program becomes more vibrant.
