Students reach their highest levels of success—in school and in life—when families are supportive and involved. We would not be able to bring the broad range of educational experiences to students without the help from our families. Parents invest time and effort, but in return, see their children thrive from the opportunities they are given! (You also have fun with all the other parents while doing the work!) We invite all our students’ families to join us!
Boosters Vision: To provide opportunities in which every student is transformed through instrumental music and inspired to become leaders in their community.
