Avery Middle School Summer Music Camp Brings the Sound of Music to Kids Hearts ~ by, Charity Maness |
Posted by: thepinetree on 08/09/2010 07:08 PM

Last year the children of Avery Middle School were asked to write a letter to the school board detailing what life would be like without music. While some were profound and eloquent, the basic message was, “life would be pretty boring” said Booster President and mom Vicki Johnson. While most school districts across the state and the country are seeing huge cuts to the arts budget Vicki says that strong community, teacher and parent collaboration and involvement keep their music, art, and sports programs up and running. “We all work together for the benefit of the students.” Music instructor Patty Struvie reiterates those same thoughts, commending the community, teachers, and parents for their support and collaboration....

Posted by: Kim_Hamilton on 07/12/2010 07:51 PM

As we enter into a new school year, it is important to keep the community aware of the challenging issues facing the Calaveras Unified School District and what we are doing in response.
