DTC Communications, in partnership with the Foundation for Rural Service (FRS), is honored to announce a grant award of $4917.03 to DeKalb Middle School to expand its General Music Program. This grant will allow the school to purchase new classroom instruments and instructional materials, enhancing music education resources for current and future students.
DeKalb Middle School’s music teacher, Hannah Bratton, expressed the school’s gratitude, stating, “The DeKalb Middle School Saints want to sincerely thank the Foundation for Rural Service for the generous Community Grant awarded to our general music program. This grant allows us to purchase classroom instruments and instructional materials that will support all of our current and future students. Students will enjoy playing on high-quality instruments as they develop their love of folk music, and we are excited to see the community’s love of music grow as a result of this charitable contribution. When we received the call, it felt like a prayer had been answered because the students will now have access to the music education they deserve. Thank you, FRS and DTC, for your support.”
The General Music Program at DeKalb Middle School emphasizes core music skills, including rhythm, music literacy, and composition, inspiring students to develop a lifelong love of music. With the new resources provided by this grant, students will have more opportunities to play high-quality instruments, and broaden their understanding and enjoyment of music.
