My Project

Ms. Herkel is excited to be taking over the Middle School Choir next year. She also teaches Middle School Musical Theatre as well as musical directs the LPA DRAMA musical every year. The piano she currently is using is starting to fail and not function properly.

"I am thrilled to be able to teach middle school choir next year and have yet an additional opportunity to share my love and passion for music with my kids!"

She is ready to take the LPA PERFORMING ARTS to the next level!

"I want to give my kids confidence. I want to see the joy they can spread by sharing their musical as well as theatrical talents!"

Let's make some dreams come true! These kids deserve it!
