Attention Music Student Parents!!
The Essex Music Booster Committee is made up of community members who do not have children in school or in the music program. We have not had new members for several years now, but would like to extend a warm welcome for you to become active. We would love to have participation from active music student parents. Please consider contacting Jane King or Rachel Cabeen if interested in becoming a member of the Essex Music Booster Committee. We would appreciate the input of parents whose children are being affected by the outcomes and efforts from the Music Booster Club. This year we have already purchased elementary classroom rhythm instruments and a classical musical DVD Collection for understanding of performance. There are still many decisions to be made this year. Any parent of a music student may become a member. All students in Kindergarten through 8th grade are active in music as well as many high school students. Please do not hesitate and act now. If you don’t…Who will??
