Fundraising Campaign to Sustain Music for our Children

Music programs for elementary age children in the Napa Valley Unified School District are important cornerstones to education, child development and improved self-esteem for students.  In order to sustain and move forward with these instrumental programs in our schools, the Napa Valley Education Foundation is conducting a fundraising campaign to raise the necessary funds so that over 1,300 school aged children can continue to participate in music programs developing 21^st century skills they need to function in today’s society.

• The Napa Valley Education Foundation’s program, The Music Connection impacts thousands of students a year and has been an integral piece of our children’s education for more than fourteen years. See the editorial in the Napa Valley Register.
• Studies have shown that students involved in music programs have a higher level of self-esteem, which is the main predictor of resilience to substance abuse and other negative behaviors.  Music programs teach and engage students so they are more successful in learning other subjects and students’ attendance is higher in school.
• The NVUSD is facing many hard choices and budget cuts, because of this the Napa Valley Education Foundation, who is the prime driver of music programs in our schools, is committed to providing music education opportunities for our children.  The Napa community prides itself on being a world-class location; students in such a location deserve a musical education compensatory with that reputation.
