The student’s in Mrs. Wrights’ music class at Kinoshita Elementary were presented with a special surprise on October 1. Mrs. Wright had applied for a Strike Up The Band grant, and was awarded 24 brand new ukuleles for her students across CUSD.
Strike Up The Band is a grant program by the Philharmonic Society of Orange County that aims to foster the appreciation of music within our community’s youth and create a meaningful impact on school music programs through the granting of musical instruments and teaching materials. The purpose of the grant is to enhance and grow existing music programs, support the creation of new music programs, or aid in the transition to online learning.
