Music Recital Wrap Up!

I’d like to thank all of our students and families for making our recent music recitals such a success! Getting to see and hear over 120 of our music students sharing their musical experience on stage at The Father's House was wonderful! Being able to perform on a raised stage with professional level lighting and sound is something that every music student should experience as often as possible.

Thanks to Mr. Adrian, Mr. Austin, Miss Galina, Miss Jane, Mr. Jeremy, Miss Jessica, Miss Lori, Miss Mary, Mr. Quentin, Mr. Randel, Mr. Sergio F, Mr. Sergio Z, Miss Sophie, Mr. Tommy and Miss Yelena, our music instructors who did a fantastic job of teaching our music students and helping them prepare for their November recitals.


-Craig Lynch, Director

Help Us Give Back to the Community: Support Our Second Harvest Food Drive!

From the first year we were open, STAMD and our student families have always supported Second Harvest Food Bank through a holiday food drive. In years past, we've had bins in the lobby for you to drop off your food donations but Second Harvest no longer distributes bins for food drives. So we will be holding a virtual food drive.

We have set a fundraising goal of $5000. As of today we have raised $373. We still have a long way to go! Please visit STAMD's page and make your donation. You can use either the QR code below or this link: https://impact.shfb.org/team/462855?is_new=true

Your gift of any size provides a nutritious mix of fresh produce, protein and pantry items so that local families can enjoy a holiday meal together. $1 helps provide enough food for 2 meals. When you donate using our link, STAMD will match each dollar for dollar up to $2000!

Our virtual food drive will run through December 31st --please donate generously and share this information with your friends and family! We would love to reach our goal and help make the holidays a happy one for those in need in our community.
