Greeting Supporters,

We are here again asking for your continued financial and moral support in fostering the arts within our children.
For the past 40 years, enrollment has largely consisted of female students and in amazement, this year, the majority of the students are male. Let’s come out and support these young and little children.
In today’s world, sports have taken an important role in uplifting our young, notwithstanding, that sports are not the only way to adulthood. The success of our children depends on their ability to critically think utilizing cognitive relations in reasoning and remembering, begets self-reliance and efficiency. Learning music is the scientific formula that will continue to be a way forward. Therefore, your continued support of the arts is imperative.
Appreciation, gratefulness and love cover the many years that you have supported the Oliver School of Music in the heart of the urban core. And, we will continue on this journey with you by our side. Thanks again for all that YOU have done.
Very truly yours,
/s/Toni L. Oliver
