Dates to remember
March is Music in Our Schools Month, so we are taking some time to acknowledge and celebrate our talented students! It’s such a gift for these young people to be able to learn under the incredible music instructors we have. Likewise being able to learn the craft and performance of music is so valuable in providing a significant form of expression. Kudos to our music teachers and students!
