My Students

Students at our school are a very diverse group. Their parents have come to America from all over the globe. Our school community speaks seventeen different languages. One thing that everyone can agree on is that the kids deserve every chance to succeed.

Our school creed is, "Inspiring each other every day to grow in every way," and we take these words very seriously.

Given the opportunity, we do great work. And with your help we will continue to do just that.

My Project

Getting recorders for each student will allow them to prepare and play a performance with one of the world's finest symphony orchestra in their symphony hall. This once in a lifetime opportunity needs a little help from you. Getting a recorder use will allow each and every boy and girl the chance to participate in a well respected and proven program that will enhance their own self esteem as well as their understanding of some of the greatest music of all time. Not to mention that they get to play with some of the greatest musicians in the world as well.
