Glacier Valley Students Unveil Grand Total Raised for JAMM Challenge Grant |
Thank you, Juneau community, for helping JAMM reach its $18,000 goal to expand to 2nd grade at Glacier Valley and kindergarten at Riverbend and Auke Bay Elementary Schools next year. Ron and Kathy Maas provided a $6,000 challenge grant to help place violins in the small hands of next year's kindergartners at Glacier Valley and Riverbend Elementary Schools. The Juneau community generously responded to the Maas' challenge,
including major donations from the Juneau Community Foundation, Sealaska Native Corporation, Skaggs
Foundation, the Tupou Family, and Michael and DeeAnn Grummet.
To celebrate, JAMM 1st graders helped unveil the grand total at their spring concert. In the photo below, Glacier Valley 1st grade violinist, Jazlynne LaChester, helps the audience count by $1,000's to celebrate JAMM reaching its $18,000 goal.
Thank you again, Juneau community, for investing in the intellectual, creative and disciplined minds of our students!
