Music belongs to every child. All students are capable of
learning to express themselves through music. “We sing, we dance,
we play, we share, we express emotions, we learn, we grow.”

How Can Parents Help
Materials
Mrs. Schumacher is always looking for interesting instruments to add to
the classroom collection. She has also made many drums from PVC
pipe of all sizes and is always willing to make more if materials are
provided. Cow hide covers the top. She can also make dried gourds into
great shakers.
Volunteering
Mrs. Schumacher is always looking for parents to help with programs in
the areas of scenery, decorations, costumes, speech, and drama. Contact
her as soon as possible in the school year for advanced planning of
volunteer time in these areas.
