  • Help Us Build and Foster Our Ukulele Program!

    Funded Nov 29, 2022

    I wanted to thank you for supporting our ukulele program here at Ossun Elementary. The ukulele cases have been so helpful in keeping our instruments safe and protected. Having the cases for our instruments is also giving our our students a better understanding about the value of these instruments and learning how to properly take care of them. When we take our instruments outside of the classroom, we know that they will be well kept in transit. This will help future students to have to these instruments to learn on as well!

    Thanks again for your continued support for my music classroom here at Ossun Elementary!”

    With gratitude,

    Ms. Balfa
