Our school is home to a great group of kiddos. We have roughly 400 students here, and our attendance remains pretty constant. Most of our families here struggle financially and because of this, our school qualifies for many extra resources. Many of the students here have grown up knowing each other and also have extended family related to or in connection with each other. There is a very close bond between many of the students here at our school. We are about 20 minutes away from the nearest town, and our little community has a few stores and the most delicious pizza anywhere on the peninsula! Most families that live out here and attend our school do not venture too far. We are very close knit. Students want to be what they dream about, and when they are here in music class with me, they want to experience the music that they listen to at home. One of their first questions always includes guitars. It would delight 400 students out here if we did, and word would travel fast!
