From Mr. Schmid: Joseph Atencio Jr. Music Fundraiser
I am truly honored to share that the Steele music program will receive half of the 7th Annual Joseph Atencio Jr. Music Fundraiser proceeds. Our amazing DPS tech support person, Celina Ulibarri, has recommended our music program to Joseph's family, who through their annual fundraiser carry on his passion to inspire and teach music to others.
This fundraiser is a venture with the John F. Kennedy High School community, and all proceeds will be split 50%-50% between JFK HS and Steele Elementary. Donations from the Steele community in support of this fundraiser are welcome until March 26th in honor of Joseph Atencio Jr and in support of music education at JFK HS and Steele.
Steele recently acquired a few more acoustic guitars for our 4th and 5th graders (primarily) to play outside as soon as the weather allows. However, we are still a few instruments shy of being able to equip a full class. The proceeds will primarily go to closing that gap. If funds allow, we will also acquire mini keyboards to equip a full class.
To make a donation, you can use either Laura Wilson's Venmo (mother of Joseph): @Laura-Wilson-466 or Apple Pay: 7203004152
If anyone would like to donate cash or check, please contact Laura Wilson: Phone #: 720-300-4152; and Email: [email protected].
If you would like to learn more about Joseph and the scholarship, information is available here.
