Helping Students Create!
We are deeply committed to supporting Music and Arts in the Renton Schools.
Music Programs
March is Music In Our Schools Month, as dedicated by the National Association for Music Education, promoting music education in schools across the nation. The Renton Schools Foundation affectionately refers to it as: March is Music Month.
​
For the past 10 years, our generous donors have contributed during the month of March and enhanced thousands of students' lives through the gift of music education! Music brings students together and is shown to improve cognitive skills, mental well-being, and social engagement. Thank you for your support and please consider donating this year to March is Music Month as our awesome Music Teachers continue to create enthusiasm through the power of music!
​
All March is Music Month Donations go directly into the hands of the Music teachers across the Renton School District.

In 2013, the Renton Schools Foundation made its first grant of $2,500 to music in Renton Schools. As of today, with your generous donations, we have granted over $400,000 to music in our schools!
