My Students

Our students come from a broad socioeconomic background with one goal in mind. The goal is to have the most enriching experience in elementary school that they can get. The parents and staff are all an integral part of this goal. We are all working together to give the students as much experience as possible. Playing music is enriching, challenging and rewarding all at the same time.

Paying it forward is something we do at our school.

Filling our local food pantry is a year-round goal. Our chorus has traveled to the Walter Reed Medical Center to perform for our wounded warriors. They also perform for meals on wheels recipients. All of these experiences make our students who they are.

My Project

This year while we are still recovering from a pandemic our school would like to purchase the band students books. The students usually purchase all of their own materials. In these economic hard times we don't want to put any extra financial burden on our school community. This project will enable our students to play in band and have the tools necessary to succeed this school year. The materials. We are hoping to have a performance by the end of the school year for their parents and school community and staff
