Our many thanks go to our outside funding sources….
Saskatchewan Music Educators’ Association
The SMEA generously approved us for a total of $2750 towards the upcoming music conference. We are VERY grateful for this contribution which will help us bring in great musicians for our students to work with at the conference.
The potential to receive funding from the SMEA is just one good reason to spend the $30-$50 to become a member!
