As summer break comes to a close, I’m reminded of the many possibilities a new school year brings. There are opportunities to forge inspiring relationships between teachers and their students, create learning environments that enrich students’ lives and make possible for each student to reach his or her potential.

The importance of a music education and the opportunities it creates is an example of how TCSF would like to make an impact for all children in our district. Together with our Board of Directors, I’m excited to begin a new school year and continue our support of programs that offer students a variety of … [Read more...]
