March is Music In
Our Schools Month
The Allamakee Music Boosters was organized in the early 1970’s
with the purpose of supporting the music programs in grades K-12.
Contributions to Music Boosters this last year have helped with the
financial support of many items to promote “Music in Our Schools”.
Over the years, the Music Booster organization has grown considerably
and has been a great support of the music program in our schools. As we
celebrate “Music in Our Schools” during the month of March, a sincere
THANK YOU goes out to our 2014-2015 members that have made this
organization possible.
