Music in our schools

Currently our Washington State legislature is in special session discussing the budget impact within our schools.  One of the items being discussed is future funding for extra activities including formal music programs within our schools.  Music and the arts are so important to our next generation.  I ask that you take a moment to look at MENC's website focused on what we as community members and parents can do to get involved.  There is truly power in numbers.  Facts surrounding the impact music has on our students can be found on the Washington Music Educators Association website.  Music can make a difference and so can you!

About Me

My photo
Spokane, Washington, United States
Growing up in a small rural community in Eastern Washington allowed me to discover and grow into the woman you see now. I was born on March 4, 1965 in the Othello hospital and 18 years later graduated from Othello High School ~ go Huskies! I am now a wife, mother, and grandmother. I am deeply committed to emotional and physical health and work diligently to strengthen both my mind and body through exercise. I am a graduate of Whitworth University ~ go Pirates, and Gonzaga University ~ go Zags! My passion is focused on mentoring the youth in our communities by showing them the power of critical thinking and authentic leadership. By applying the principles of emotional intelligence we can successfully arm our youth with the tools to move our global community to the next level. I am currently involved with Big Brothers & Big Sisters as well as HOBY. Both of these organizations share my passion for youth leadership in the community. In addition to youth leadership I am involved with Vanessa Behan's Crisis Nursery. I urge you to view the links I have provided so that you may learn more about these special organizations.
