My Project

I have the privilege to work with truly amazing young people.

Please help us expand our music library with books that teach us about the orchestra, lives of composers and give us beautiful lyrics to create music with.

Fluency in reading is so important for students and music class is a wonderful place to practice that. These books will allow students to recognize the importance of reading for fun and that we read in every subject, including music class. These books will also allow my students to do composer projects using books. My younger students will love creating sound stories to accompany the books. Our students just don’t read enough and adding these books to our music library will be invaluable.

We strive to give our students every opportunity for success through learning.

Our community takes great pride in our school and are very supportive of the programs offered here. Many of our students stay after school each day for a different club activity as well as participate in performing groups during the school day.
