Sangaree Intermediate's music teacher, Katherine Clarkson, noticed a real problem in her classroom. During her ukulele unit, students had to share ukuleles and none of the students could play all at the same time. Taking action, Clarkson started a Donors Choose fundraiser to raise money for 10 more ukuleles so everybody could play together.
