Does your child love to sing in the shower? Play her instrument at home without being asked? Listen to jazz or classical music even though that’s never been on at home before? Then you might be witnessing the magic of the very powerful music program at Jane Addams Middle School. And if your child is benefitting then you can bet you are too. In return, we need you to step up and find a way to give back to the school and this amazing program. There have been a few hard workers behind the scenes these past few years but we really need to spread the workload so that others can assist in all that needs to happen to keep our phenomenal music program running smoothly. We already have leads in all positions for next year but we specifically need incoming 6th and/or 7th grade parents to learn along with us this year to take on the lead role the year following. NO EXPERIENCE NECESSARY! 100% of this year’s board was brand new to the job and we’ve had a stellar year.
