AB Music Program Summer Car Wash August 21, 2021
Join us on Saturday, August 21st for the AB Music Program Summer Car Wash! It’s a lot of fun and the proceeds go toward the music program and supporting the kids.
There will be a student sign-up sheet in the band room for the kids to pick slots where they can come help out. Ensure that your student signs up for at least one slot!
The car wash is run in short two-hour shifts so that everyone can participate and no one has too much fun (or sun!).
Parent volunteers are needed! Contact volunteer@nullabfom.org.
Rain date is Sunday, August 22nd.

Congratulations ABRSD
For the second year in a row, the Acton-Boxborough Regional School District has been honored with the Best Communities for Music Education designation from the NAMM Foundation for its outstanding commitment to music education. See more info on the music department web site.
ABRSD has once again been recognized as one of the Best Communities in Music Education by the NAMM Foundation. This is the fifth time we’ve received this designation.
This would not be possible without the generous support of our sponsors. Thank you for your partnership in keeping music-making one of our community’s core values.
