Your generosity provided replacement scarves, egg shakers, and recorders for our students.

The photos included with this update offer a glimpse of your generosity in action! Having these replacement materials means we can continue giving students opportunities to participate actively as we build on our music lessons.\r\n\r\nAs we move forward, our younger students will continue using the scarves and egg shakers, and our recorders will make their classroom debut in middle school during the second semester. We look forward to expanding our music-making with the resources you helped provide.
