Music Supplies Needed
Our Be Exceptional Programs music program is a growing and our teachers need more supplies. The music teachers for two music classes on Wednesday, Fun with music ages 4-8, and Music Exploration ages 9-13, are requesting help in obtaining more instruments. Either a donation of unused music equipment or money are appreciated. Here’s a wish list from Amazon for items needed. Please help us teach music to children – Thank you!
