TK-2 Music Informances
Please join us for the final TK-2 Music class of the school year. Learn about the instruments, curriculum, and songs the students have learned this school year with the company Music Rhapsody. TK-2 Music is funded through the Santa Monica Education Foundation (SMEF) Stretch Grant; thanks to the PTA covering other expenses such as before/after school Campus Monitor supervision, the school funding can be used for music. Thanks to your donations to SMEF and PTA!
The Informances will take place in B9.
