Both schools are filled with wonderful students, supportive families, and growing music programs, and she is looking forward to a fun, energetic, and musical school year ahead! 🎺🎷🥁🎵

“I am a teacher at St. Greg’s, and my daughter is a third-grade student who began learning the clarinet this year. She attends lessons during the school day as well as after-school band. My daughter has always been a shy child who never wanted to get on stage, but with the support and encouragement of Mrs. VVK, she found the courage to perform in the Christmas concert. The band program has also given her a wonderful sense of community, helping her build friendships and feel like she truly belongs. While she does miss one period of school each week for lessons, we have actually seen an increase in her grades on her report card. We couldn’t be happier with the band program at St. Greg’s!”
