The SCV Music Festival was a HUGE SUCCESS, thanks to you. We do hope you all enjoyed the evening as much as we did, and we look forward to next year!

Music helps students in myriad ways and WiSH, as always, is dedicated to supporting our district music programs. We've recently partnered with Yamaha, who has committed to donating guitars. It was a joy to make our first delivery to Rancho Pico Junior High this month!
