We've secured an organization to come and teach Arts/Enrichment classes during the school day, and with your help, now we'll have the necessary equipment to create the first ever music program at our campus. This opportunity will motivate some of the most at-risk students in our city to finish middle school and earn a high school diploma at the same time as other kids their age. Music education has proven life-long benefits. Before now, our campus has only focused on math, science, reading, and history instruction. We are working hard to bring in new programs with high student interest and are very excited to offer dance, music, visual arts, and robotics through a partnership where kids won't even have to stay after school to engage in these classes.
