My Project

It has been made very clear in the past year that the Arts are very important to us at our school.

You can make a big difference in the education and enrichment of our students!

By funding this project, you are helping us to implement an entirely new Music curriculum where students will learn how to play and compose their own music on ukulele. Ukuleles are a fun and exciting way to introduce students to string instruments. This knowledge will help students in their academic progression as they advance to guitar, Modern Band, or even Orchestra classes in the coming years!

So if you would like to help us out in a big way, please consider donating to our cause. Our students thank you!
