Exciting News for EJE Fifth Grade Students-- A generous gift has been given to Fifth Grade Students by the Shoemaker Charitable Gift Fund through Art's Place, Inc. This gift gives us the opportunity to provide ukuleles for each 5th grade student in the Jay School Corporation. Students have been learning basic playing skills in their general music classes, and will perform at the upcoming Spring program. After the program, students will be able to keep their ukuleles! We hope your student will value and cherish this gift, and that they can enjoy a lifetime of playing an instrument. THANK YOU to the Shoemaker Charitable Gift Fund and Art's Place. ❤
