Micro Grant - Libbey Music

Posted Date: 03/06/2023

Platte County School District #1 had the honor of working with Becky Hilty and Western Coffee Co. to raise money for Platte County teachers and educational resources. Teachers have the option to apply for unique and untraditional items for their students and classrooms. See the article below for a glimpse at how this money is benefitting our #oneplatte1 family.

Libbey Elementary received a Micro Grant to purchase Boomwhackers for Music. Boomwhackers are brightly colored plastic tubes that are tuned by length to pitches. They are a wonderful and fun way to introduce pitch, melody and harmony to students. Boomwhackers also reinforce beat and rhythm, as well as cooperation. We learn to play the correct color at the correct time, so they also reinforce color recognition.

Thanks Western Coffee for your generous donation! We love our Boomwhackers!
