Students at Clark recently read the book Ada's Violin, The Story of the Recycled Orchestra of Paraguay by Susan Hood in library class. Did you know that musical instruments can be made out of items found in a landfill? The inspirational true story tells about how some flexible thinking combined with hard work put the orchestra on the world stage and changed the lives of some children living at a landfill forever. Follow the link below to see footage of the Orchestra perform and learn more about them. Later this year, we'll be creating our own instruments in the library as part of a makerspace activity. Stay tuned!
