Glenview Teen Raising Funds for Music Equipment at Gemini Junior High

One Glenview student wants to help his music teacher outfit the classroom with 20 keyboards.

After he learned his music teacher spent her own money to buy music equipment for students, Gemini Junior High School student DJ wanted to help.

So the Glenview resident started a fundraising campaign to help his music teacher, Miss Achille, buy 20 new keyboards.

"It is also my understanding that she is teaching the drums, by using large buckets," his mother writes on their fundraising website. "I love that she hasn't given up due to lack of musical instruments."

So far, DJ has raised $380 toward his goal of $1,500 to support music education at Gemini Junior High School.
