APPLETON (WLUK) -- A seventh grader at Zion Lutheran Wayside school in Greenleaf received an early Christmas gift this year, thanks to the Mile of Music scholarship.
Katrina Miller has played piano and guitar, but hasn't been able to take steady lessons or have her own instrument.
Thanks to Tundraland and Heid Music, Miller was able to pick out her very own instrument free of cost.
She was also awarded a year of free music lessons.
Scholarship organizers say the event allows kids to pursue their music passions.
"Those kids get a chance to actually perform at Mile of Music," said Tundraland president, Brian Gottlieb. "That's what Mile of Music is really all about. It's about how you continue music education and this is just a perfect example of that happening."
Despite having very little practice with percussion instruments, Katrina picked out a set of drums which she will receive lessons for.
