Thank you, Mrs. Jansen
After 28 years volunteering as director of the Heritage Band, Mrs. Jansen will be retiring at the end of this year. Throughout her time, she has inspired and impacted countless students—transforming uncertain first notes into beautiful music and helping pique their musical interests. Many students have gone on to play in high school, college, and beyond.
We invite all alumni, students, and families to help us celebrate her legacy by sending a card, note of thanks, or sharing a favorite memory. These will be collected in the office and presented to her at the final concert on Thursday, May 14 at 7:00 PM with a cake reception to follow
