SAVE MUSIC!!!!

Dear students and parents,

From what I currently understand, elementary art, music, and science is not officially listed as a cut, but is in danger of being cut and/or significantly reduced/altered. We are on the "cut list", and on March 2nd the school board will decide whether or not to continue funding for our programs.

I repeat. Nothing has been 100% decided yet.

We are trying to make a difference by making sure everyone knows how important our subjects are, how they make a difference, and how upset everyone would be if they disappeared.

WHAT CAN I DO TO HELP?
#1 CONTACT THE BOARD MEMBERS!!! Let them know the important role music has played in your life (or your child's life). Email or call the people who will make the decisions.
