WELCOME SOWERS MUSIC PARENTS!!
As President of the Sowers Music Parent Association, the Executive Board and Music Staff would like to welcome you and your family into the music community here at Sowers Middle School. Mrs. Kari Ivey and Mr. Ryan Tan have an amazing program planned for your children this year. They are very excited to have you as part of this group and want to take this time to celebrate not only the hard work your child will put into the next year in music class, but also the skills that they will develop through their experiences in their classes. The lifelong benefits your child will obtain through music expand beyond the classroom, and are transferable to every other academic subject.
Sowers Music Program is funded solely through a combination of family donations, performances, and fundraising! Unfortunately, due to restrictions on gatherings this year, performances will be put on hold and fingers crossed, we can one day resume. Still, to have a successful program, your participation is vital to our ability to reach our musical and financial goals. We hope to continue our monthly music meetings via Zoom to keep everyone informed on what this program is offering.
Volunteering is a great way to actively participate in your child’s music education and we have two openings on our Executive board that we would love to fill. One is our Vice President of Governance and the other is Vice President of Programming. Details of these two positions are found on the current by-laws on the website.
Our fundraising efforts have changed a bit this year, but would love to be able to provide the program the necessary funds for new instruments and repairs, uniform purchases and upkeep, instructional staff and music, and support equipment that keeps the program running smoothly for years to come. We will be planning monthly restaurant fundraisers and would need volunteers to assist. If you have any other creative ideas to raise money for this wonderful program, please reach out. As you know direct donations are always greatly appreciated and ALWAYS VOLUNTARY!
As the year unfolds, we hope we can add much more to this program and want to be prepared when that happens. Again, welcome to an amazing program and please reach out to any of us on the board if you have any questions or would love to get involved.
Please attend our first Parent meeting Monday, October 5th at 6:00pm via Zoom. Information regarding link to meeting will be posted closer to that date. Can’t wait to see everyone!!
Go Vikings!
