As the schoolyear comes to a close, we want to take a moment to thank our amazingly dedicated President Cheryl Jenkins and Treasurer Yvonne Shiau! They have both given so much of their time to help Friends of Music and our students and directors over the last several years. Our music program and organization are so much better after having them at the helm!

Thank you Cheryl and Yvonne!
