“Music enrichment provides a variety of joyful musical experiences, including african drumming, choral performances, and band instrument instruction. These enrichment activities are key elements of students' well-rounded education. They develop the children's creative talents, stimulate their curiosity, promote hands-on learning, and encourage self- expression. Students' enthusiasm for their favorite activities helps them stay excited about school. The enrichment activities also provide valuable support for traditional school subjects by providing academic experiences in different learning modalities. Additional academic support is possible when enrichment programs are scheduled in a way that enables teachers to work with students in smaller groups tailored to individual needs.”

“On the school grounds, our work includes installing major garden improvements, maintaining our irrigation system, and keeping gardens mulched, weeded and healthy. We help teachers with projects that they identify inside the buildings, including painting areas that need freshening up, and building or installing amenities such as cubbies, shelves, and coat hooks. We also provide direct funding for classroom needs such as technology purchases, field trips, and classroom supplies.”
