Due to your incredible generosity, every single instrument has been adopted in under two weeks! What is even more astounding is that there were enough donations to the general instrument repair fund for the Murray Music Program to repair every instrument we brought into Cadenza Music, and more, for a couple of years! The music students are ecstatic that they were a central part in our successful campaign. It has helped them to realize their value as creative thinkers, collaborative learners, and community members. This experience has shown students the potential of being engaged community citizens. Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for your exceptional generosity! Find out more.Few people are as creative as teens with a good cause! And Murray musicians have an important one. Murray Middle School in Saint Paul, Minnesota, enrolls 565 students, 69% of them BIPOC, and 64% of whom qualify for free and reduced lunch. Murray's vibrant, rapidly-growing music program offers the
well-documented benefits of arts programs: improving social, emotional, and academic outcomes for kids at a pivotal time in their lives. Repairing some of the 85 broken instruments we have on hand will help our program continue to grow and provide benefits to more children.
You may contribute to the Murray Music Department for future repairs and improvements by
donating to the Murray PTO.
The Murray PTO (formerly known as Galtier PTO) supports Murray Middle School, and is a nonprofit public charity recognized as tax-exempt by the IRS under Section 501(c)(3).
