Welcome to the Music Room! In this classroom, we firmly believe that kindness, community, and growth are what's most important for these young musicians. When I was in middle school, the band room was a safe place and felt like home, no matter what difficulties life threw at me. Now, as a middle school teacher, my goal is to provide the same for my students. These students are nearly all newcomers to the United States, coming from all over the Middle East. Band and Orchestra provide a place to belong, even in such a new, unfamiliar environment. Being a Title 1 school and low-income area, we rely on generous donations from kind people like you. Thank you for considering a donation to our musical community!
