Dedicated Fine Arts Fund Support
In recent years, the Foundation’s Dedicated Fine Arts Fund helped the district to support the increased enrollment in the music programs across its secondary schools, for example, orchestra participation has nearly doubled in the last five years. This allowed schools to meet the increased demand by providing money for new instruments and equipment used by middle and high school orchestra and band students. School-owned instruments are essential to students who are learning to play. Many students do not have an instrument at home. Those who do own instruments may not be able to transport them to and from school. Here’s what the students and teachers say about the impact of this program.
